Uncovering the Roots of Crumpton: A Personal Journey through iGENEA DNA Testing
Family name Crumpton
Receiving my DNA test results from iGENEA marked the start of a captivating journey into the roots of my family history and lineage. The comprehensive and detailed results gave me an intellectual understanding and emotional connection to my Crumpton surname, tracing it back to the British Isles.
iGENEA provided me with an insightful DNA testing experience that truly highlighted the scientific complexity behind the exploration of our genetic makeup and ancestry. My results were astoundingly comprehensive and deepened my understanding of my surname, Crumpton.
The test primarily looked for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), these are the most common types of genetic variations among people. Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block, called a nucleotide. SNPs occur normally throughout a person's DNA and iGENEA uses these markers to trace ancestry paths through both maternal and paternal lines.
The accuracy of my DNA test from iGENEA provided a rather precise picture of my ancestry. The test could pinpoint origins as far as 200,000 years ago and could differentiate over 700 regions globally. It's worth noting that these results are based on comparison with existing genetic populations, so there's always a degree of approximation.
My Crumpton surname was linked to the British Isles. Specifically, the genetic markers associated with my paternal line revealed connections with peoples who historically occupied areas now known as England and Scotland. The detailed report provided by iGENEA served to confirm the long-held oral history within my family about a British origin, thereby deepening my understanding of the Crumpton name.
Unearthing the histories embedded within our genes was a fascinating journey. iGENEA's technical expertise, along with the specificity of the testing method, produced results that were both intriguing and educational. I now have a much more profound appreciation and understanding of my family heritage and the journey of my ancestors.
