Family name Wieczorek
My journey of self-discovery beyond the surname Wieczorek started when I decided to take the iGENEA DNA test. It broadened my understanding of my personal identity and deep-rooted heritage extending to my unnamed ancestors. I have gained a profound commitment to my Polish heritage and a newfound appreciation for my surname.
Prior to taking the iGENEA DNA test, my understanding of my heritage was distinctly defined by the surname that I carry - Wieczorek. However, the revelations unraveled by the test fundamentally shifted my perspective around my personal identity and ancestry. The mix of genetic codes, histories and cultures hidden behind one's DNA are indeed incredible and awe-inspiring. The experience of exploring my genetic origins has not only unveiled the ancient roots of my lineage, but has also broadened my comprehension of what it means to possess the surname Wieczorek. While I always knew that my surname carried a strong sense of Polish heritage and history, my understanding and connection to it have deepened substantially after this testing process.
