Discovering my familial roots has always intrigued me. When I stumbled upon iGENEA and their DNA analysis services, I jumped at the opportunity to delve deeper beyond the stories passed down generations. As I embarked on this journey to unearth my ancestry, my curiosity chiefly lay with my family name 'Strub'.
Sending my DNA sample was a breeze. iGENEA’s kit was straightforward, concise, and user-friendly, and it took no time for me to set my testing process in motion.

According to the results, 'Strub' is a topographic surname, historically given to individuals living near notable physical features, differentiating them from others in the same locality.

The most fascinating part of my iGENEA experience was the revelation about the migration patterns of my ancestors. Coming from a predominantly agricultural background, my forebears were primarily native to the hilly regions of what are now Germany and Switzerland. It helped me ponder upon the strengths, resilience, and determination they embodied to survive and thrive in those historical times.
Another insightful aspect the DNA analysis unraveled was the genetic lineage. My paternal line belongs to Haplogroup R, one of the most widespread haplogroups, primarily associated with North-West Europe, shedding light on the deep ancestral roots.
My expedition of unravelling my familial roots with iGENEA has been an enriching and enlightening journey.
