Discover an engaging narrative about experiencing the iGENEA DNA test. From unearthing the prolific ancestry behind the Asher surname to creating bonds with distant relatives forming a global community, this is a fascinating exploration of one's roots.
My experience using the iGENEA DNA test has been nothing short of impressive. The DNA journey was insightful, illuminating, and fascinating, to say the least. Most importantly, it proved instrumental in unravelling the mystifying lineage of my surname — Asher.
The process was fairly smooth. The test was non-invasive, involving a simple cheek swab, which made it incredibly convenient. Following the testing, I received a comprehensive report detailing the genetic makeup linked with the Asher surname. As per the findings, Asher has a strong Ashkenazi Jewish foundation with traces spanning from Eastern to Central Europe, subtly hinting at a long history of global migration. The report was packed with insightful historical contexts that helped paint a vivid picture of the Asher ancestry. I found this to be truly mesmerising and enriching.
One of the profound perks of the test was the access to the expansive database of individuals who too, carried the Asher name. It enabled me to connect with distant relatives worldwide whom I had no prior knowledge of. For instance, I learned that I share ancestry with Asher individuals in Germany, an eye-opener given my assumption of British origins. Expanding my Asher family tree has been an intriguing process, enabling a profound sense of belonging and knowledge of my roots.
The test also uses advanced algorithms enabling us to update our information as new data is found. This continuous learning and update system makes this test very much alive and in sync with evolving human genealogy and anthropology.
On the downside, I found the pricing to be on the slightly expensive side. Nevertheless, considering the valuable, in-depth insights it provides, I’d consider it an investment worth the personal discoveries.
In all, the iGENEA DNA test has proven to be a valuable tool, illuminating my personal history, and connecting me with a global community of Ashers. I now have a richer understanding of my unique heritage, and have built a more detailed family tree. A journey that’s well worth taking.
