My Ancestral Journey with iGENEA DNA Test: Unraveling the Roots of Thies

Family name Thies

Discovering my own roots with the iGENEA DNA test was not only enlightening, but intensified my bond with my family heritage. The process allowed me to trace back my German name 'Thies', and connected me to distant relatives.

Taking the iGENEA DNA test has been a truly enlightening experience for me. It was a unique journey of self-discovery and a chance to learn fascinating details about my surname, Thies. Starting with the packaging of the test, it was professionally sealed and the directions were easy to follow.

The results I received were impressively detailed. I discovered that my surname, Thies, has deep roots in Germany, dating back to the Middle Ages. It turns out ‘Thies’ is not just a mere name but a symbol of my ancestors’ geographical location and their way of life. Tracing back, the Thies lineage is studded with handymen, specifically blacksmiths, a fact that added a certain charm to my identity.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that I belong to the Haplogroup I1, which forms a major part of the Scandinavian population. This unfolded an unexpected Scandinavian connection I was completely unaware of. The iGENEA family finder feature was another fascinating element. It connected me with distant relatives spread across the globe, all sharing the Thies surname. It felt surreal to connect and interact with people sharing a common ancestry, making the world suddenly feel a little smaller.

One aspect of the iGENEA DNA test that I particularly appreciated was their customer service. Their team provided professional guidance at every step of the process, from questions about how to take the test to interpret the detailed results.

There were little hitches though; the waiting period for the results was slightly longer than expected, but considering the details and the vast information they presented, it seems worth it.

In conclusion, the whole process turned out to be more than a mere test. It was a mesmerizing delve into my ancestral history and a realization about the rich culture and riveting stories my surname, Thies, carries. It enabled me to understand my identity in a new light and feel more connected to my roots. My bond with my family and heritage is stronger, thanks to the iGENEA DNA test.
