Family name Sanger
Opening the envelope containing my iGENEA DNA test results, I felt a palpable anticipation. What I learned from this document would change my view, not just on my personal identity, but on my entire family legacy. Amid the jargon and statistics, one fact stood loud and clear—I am a Sanger, and that means more than I ever thought possible.
When I first opened the packet containing my iGENEA DNA test results, my heart pounded with anticipation. I harbored expectations, of course, but the concrete reality of those results held the potential to change how I viewed not just my personal identity, but my entire family legacy. As I skimmed through the report, one undeniable fact stood out—my genetic material revealed a lineage traced through the Sanger surname that tied me to old-world locales I'd only known from schoolbooks and travel brochures.
The uniqueness of our family name, Sanger, had always intrigued me. With the iGENEA report, the significance of it started unravelling and forming a bridge of understanding. My DNA revealed a connection with the gatherings of Sangers in Western Europe, particularly in regions located in Germany. Those continental origins, paired with the knowledge that Sanger is an occupational surname indicating someone who sang in villages, churches, or at events, brought a new sense of romanticism and intimacy with ancestors long past and unveiled a prominent part of my identity.
The more I delved into my findings, the more my previous assumptions were challenged. A sense of displacement fell on me, as I spiraled across an unseen timeline, crossing ages and borders that my forefathers had dwelled in. The Sangers were not just a family name, but a tag of a vibrant, historically significant journey that ran through my veins.
I also found strong affiliations to the Celtics based on the Y-DNA analysis. This was a revelation considering my family had never mentioned any Celtic heritage. The present-day 'Sanger' may have been derived through a long lineage of renaming and evolving of the original Celtic surnames according to the geographical adaptations and survival necessity of those times.
Overall, my iGENEA DNA test results instilled a newfound respect and wonder for my ancestry. It invited me to look beyond the surface, investigate and appreciate the nuances that the surname 'Sanger' carries. This journey has left me in awe of our shared human journey, forever molding and expanding our collective identity through the actions, migrations, and adaptations of each individual traced across the centuries.
