Family name Worm
An iGENEA DNA test embarked me on a transformative, emotional journey, profoundly changing my perception of my identity and the family name, Worm. The anticipation, discovery, and newfound appreciation for my ancestral roots made my iGENEA experience less a scientific endeavor, rather, an enlightening voyage through centuries of family history.
My journey of discovering my DNA lineage through iGENEA was a moving and enlightening experience. The process was surprisingly straightforward, and the results - astonishingly profound. This journey wasn't simply a matter of curiosity to trace where my ancestors hailed from or their possible racial origins, it became a voyage of personal, emotional discovery that significantly altered my perception of my own identity and the surname, Worm.
Taking the DNA test was a straightforward process. The iGENEA kit was easy to use, instructions clear and straightforward, both in how to collect the sample and how to send it back. Throughout the several weeks it took to receive my results, all I could do was imagine, anticipate, and wait - the wait itself, now, seeming to be a journey of its own.
When I finally received the results, experiencing the weight of generations unfolding through the iGENEA interface was immensely powerful. To my surprise, I found out that my lineage traced back to Northern Europe, more specifically, to Scandinavian countries. The surname Worm, which was my focus, revealed itself to carry a deeply rooted history in Denmark.
The way this influenced my perception of my family was profound. I found myself on an unexpected journey, delving deep into centuries of familial history, unearthing the hardships, joys, and the mundane existence of those who bore the surname Worm before me. I discovered that my ancestors were not simply abstract concepts, but real, breathing individuals who lived, loved, fought, and strived.
The iGENEA DNA test was an emotional journey into the roots of my family's history, which led me to reimagine my lineage and feel a deeper connection with my ancestors. It has fostered a renewed respect for my surname, Worm, which I now proudly bear, knowing and acknowledging its Scandinavian origins. My journey with iGENEA has altered the course of my self-perception, making me feel more connected to my roots, my family, and ultimately, myself.
