Revelations from the Past: A Deep Dive into the Senger Lineage through iGENEA DNA Test
Family name Senger
I've journeyed through time and discovered my deeply Scandinavian roots through my iGENEA DNA test. It's decimated presumptions about my Senger ancestors, revealing fascinating connections to ancient Vikings, royalty, and a greater understanding of my inherited customs.
Upon receiving the results from my DNA test at iGENEA, I am marveling at the accuracy and breadth of information I've discovered, especially regarding my ancestors originally named Senger. The ancestry DNA information has opened up a world of astounding revelations about the origin, migration, and history of the Senger family line, dynamically changing how I perceive my lineage and my sense of self in the process.
The most unexpected insight from the iGENEA DNA test was learning that the Senger lineage does not originate from where I initially assumed. Previously, I was under the impression that our family hailed from Central Europe, perhaps Germany, based on family anecdotes. However, the test results indicated that the Senger ancestors can be traced back to Scandinavia, specifically, modern-day Sweden. This new finding on our geographical origins was startling but immediately explained the presence of Viking-era artefacts that were passed down in our family.
Additionally, the test shed light on the timeline and the migration patterns of my ancestors. The Senger ancestors are said to have migrated throughout Scandinavia and later towards Central Europe during the Viking expansion. Discovering this timeline has linked up some, until now, loose historical pieces, and helped me understand how certain family traditions and customs, like the strong appreciation of nature and seafaring, made their presence – a potential homage to our predecessors’ Scandinavian roots.
The iGENEA test also revealed the link to a notable historical figure – Harold Harefoot, a Viking King, who was a Senger descendant. Discovering this connection to royalty came as a surprise and has sparked a profound interest in learning more about my family history. Besides, knowing my ancestors were potentially figures of significant historical importance adds a newfound sense of pride and responsibility to uphold the family’s legacy.
In essence, my experience with the iGENEA DNA test has significantly changed my understanding of my family history and, in turn, myself. This ancestral voyage has unveiled unexpected origins, migrations and historical connections of the Senger family line that were previously unknown, ideally setting up an exciting journey of historical exploration for me moving forward.
