An Enlightening Genome Journey: My Experience with iGENEA DNA Test and the Origins of Thommen

Family name Thommen

Unearth your lineage with the iGENEA DNA test, as I did with my surname 'Thommen.' Discover your origins, connect with far-flung relatives, and walk a fascinating journey through your own history.

Embarking on the journey of discovering my lineage through the iGENEA DNA test has been as enlightening as it has been fascinating. The narrative of my surname 'Thommen' has now been unraveled to me in a new light. Initially, as is with most of us, the knowledge of my ancestor's roots was blurry, marred by anecdotal stories and heartwarming, yet hard-to-confirm tales passed down the generations. But the stories of our ancestors are essentially the foundations of our identities. Exploring this genetic makeup with iGENEA was a way of establishing a clear connection between the past, present, and future - a journey through the innumerable twists and turns of my lineage, mine to chart.

The big revelation came when the results showed that the Thommen name originated from Swiss-German roots, specifically from regions of Lucerne and Basel in Switzerland. To my delight, the test results showed a high concentration of matching Y-DNA in these areas, suggesting a strong clan heritage, historically tied to the land. Thrilled by the discovery, I dove deeper and discovered how my Swiss-German ancestors might have lived, their occupations, traditions, and the historical context that framed their lives.

What made this experience even more enlightening was the possibility of connecting with 'modern-day relatives.' The iGENEA platform offers a fantastic network opportunity to connect with others who share the Thommen surname across the globe. I was surprised to find several 'far-flung relatives', all sharing the Thommen DNA. This exercise, besides being very exciting, has been insightful, leading to interesting conversations, shared stories, and even plans for a grand family get-together.

In summary, the iGENEA DNA test is not just a scientific tool; it is a gateway to unearthing your past, connecting you with your roots, and joining you through genetics with those you may never have discovered. The transformative power of connecting our present lives to the patchwork of our past through DNA is priceless. As a Thommen, my journey has been rich and rewarding, thanks to iGENEA.
