The Royal Warrior: A Striking Revelation of My Surname Rufer Through iGENEA DNA Test
Family name Rufer
Taking an iGENEA DNA test, I unearthed more about my heritage than I would have ever imagined. From being a descendant of royalty or a warrior to the potential connection to the Royal Scythians. My surname, Rufer, and its associated lineage takes on an entirely new meaning for me.
It's not every day that you find out you're most likely a descendent of royal families, Celtic origins or warriors. Yet, that's exactly what happened when I received my surprising iGENEA DNA results. My surname, Rufer, always felt so common, so ordinary until today. The information has, quite literally, added an unexpected depth and richness to my sense of identity and heritage.
The most startling discovery from the test was my direct paternal line belongs to the Haplogroup R1b, primarily originated from Western Europe. This ancient group, dating back some 22,000 years, is majorly associated with Celtic and Italic people, hinting at possible royal lineage or warrior origin.
What shocked me further was the S28/U152 subclade present in my Y-chromosomal DNA results, indicating that my family line might have had connections to the Royal Scythians. Known for their formidable prowess in warfare and strength, learning about this potential line of descent brings an unexpected but captivating layer to my history.
For centuries, my ancestors may have lived as Celts in the Alpine region of modern-day Switzerland, a startling contrast to the peaceful and relatively uneventful life of the current Rufer generation. The fact that my genetic material is derived from the same ancient gene pool as those of the historically prominent Celts and potent Scythians is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
The results have changed how I perceive my identity. What once felt like an ordinary lineage now feels imbued with an incredible richness of history and significance. By employing a sophisticated analysis of my DNA, iGENEA has paved the way for an extraordinary journey into my ancestral roots; altering my perspective and ultimately delivering a profound sense of self-belief and pride in my heritage.
