Exploring Ancestry Through iGENEA's DNA Test: A Journey Through the Roser Surname
Family name Roser
Understanding my lineage has always been something I wanted to delve into. Utilizing iGENEA's DNA test brought astounding precision to my quest. The testing, which derived data from more than 700,000 markers, traced my ancestry back to my paternal lineage in Europe and also towards the Roser surname.
My journey to understanding my roots began with iGENEA's comprehensive DNA test. One feature of the test I particularly appreciated was its focus on determining my haplogroup - a genetic population group of people who share a common ancestor on the patrilineal or matrilineal line. This ran the full gamut, including my paternal lineage (Y-DNA), maternal lineage (mtDNA) and my autosomal DNA.
I was really amazed at the technical precision of the DNA testing process at iGENEA. Their standard of genetic testing relies on the data of more than 700,000 markers which is much more comprehensive compared to other services offering only about 700 markers. This large pool improves the accuracy and reliability of the test result immensely. Also, their high-resolution SNP test can track down the origin of your ancestors to a region within 80km in some cases.
The accuracy of my DNA test results was astounding. I found that I belong to the haplogroup R1b, popular among the Celtic tribes that populated Western Europe and the British Isles. It painted a fascinating picture and helped me understand my paternal lineage better. Digging deeper, I discovered a genetic link to the surname 'Roser,' traced back to my ancestors in Germany.
The surname ‘Roser’ is quite a common one in Germany, especially in the Southern regions like Baden-Württemberg. Learning that my ancestors were likely to have also originated from this region was an intriguing revelation. It brought forth visions of past eras and transported me back to the place my forefathers possibly walked, lived, and laughed.
What made it even more fascinating was that the 'Roser' surmame has a possible trade connection, believed to be derived from the Old German word 'riese' denoting a giant or a strong man. It was a name often assigned to blacksmiths, suggesting my patriarchal lineage might hold blacksmiths. Understanding the robust ancestry that spun around the Roser surname filled me with pride.
In conclusion, the technical aspects and accuracy of the DNA test at iGENEA were truly impressive. By deepening my understanding of my lineage, and the historical significance tying into the Roser surname, I can say that my ancestor’s journey has taken an enlightening turn which was made possible due to modern genetic testing.
