Exploring the Perryman Surname Roots through iGENEA DNA Test
Family name Perryman
The iGENEA DNA test I undertook provided valuable insights into the history and origin of the Perryman surname. By deciphering my genetic data using advanced SNP and STR testing techniques, I discovered exciting details about the geographical and historical contexts of the Perryman surname. Simultaneously, the test was remarkable for its clarity and technical accuracy.
My experience with the iGENEA DNA test was insightful and thought-provoking as it helped me to delve into the unknown depths of my family's past, specifically related to the Perryman surname. In terms of accuracy, I understand that the test employs high-quality SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) and STR (Short Tandem Repeat) testing techniques to decode the genetic data accurately.
The results provided were clear and easy to comprehend. First off, the maternal lineage was traced using mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA) testing. This involved the analysis of genetic markers in the DNA we inherit from our mothers. These markers don't change much over generations, making them an accurate tool for identifying maternal ancestry.
The Perryman side of my family was identified as of Celtic origin. Probable Celtic migration patterns were also indicated, likely referring to the movement from East to West Europe during the Iron Age. It opened a new window to better understand our family's past travel trajectories and settlements.
On the paternal side, the Y-DNA test was used. I learned that Y-DNA tests are useful for understanding male lineage as the Y-chromosome is passed down virtually unchanged from father to son. I found out that my paternal Perryman family line belongs to a rare haplogroup, giving me a sense of uniqueness regarding my genetic heritage.
I learned interesting details about the geographical distribution of the Perryman surname and the migration routes of my ancestors. It is fascinating to know that the surname Perryman originates from a combination of two Anglo-Saxon words, 'Pirige' meaning pear tree, and 'mann' meaning man or servant.
In the end, the results seemed highly credible, and the technical aspects of the test were impressive. I appreciate the consultation service at iGENEA that helped me to better interpret my results. The whole experience has truly deepened my understanding of the Perryman's surname and its historical and geographical context.
