Dschingis Khan in My Family Tree: A Riveting DNA Test Experience with iGENEA
Excited anticipation turned into utter astonishment when a birthday gift, an iGENEA DNA test, unveiled my lineage to Dschingis Khan. This review charts my thrilling journey of discovering family roots, appreciating iGENEA's precision, detail and service. (H. Niermeyer)
Relaying a mind-blowing DNA testing experience with iGENEA is a tall order, but I’ll do my best. My foray into learning about my ancestry began when I received the iGENEA DNA testing kit as a birthday gift. Being a science enthusiast, I was excited and fascinated by the prospect of exploring my roots and decoding my genetic makeup.
The instructive process started with the user-friendly kit received from iGENEA, containing everything necessary for sampling. Registering my kit online was straightforward. My swab sample was taken and sent to the lab using the provided return envelope. iGENEA maintained an informative email communication channel throughout the entire testing phase, helping me track the progress of my sample.
I eagerly awaited the results, expecting perhaps a mix of European roots, maybe with a touch of Asia. Two weeks later, the analysis shook my understanding of my family lineage. According to iGENEA, I am related to none other than Dschingis Khan, the legendary founder of the Mongol Empire. Flabbergasted doesn't even begin to encapsulate the surprise.
I was aware that Khan’s descendants were far-flung, but personally connecting to such an infamous historical figure was something I never anticipated. However, iGENEA provided an extensive trace chart, mapping my family tree back to shared common ancestors. This chart not only briefed me about my percentages of ethnic roots but also pooled the genetic details of the past 42 generations in my family's history.
The customer service team at iGENEA was very responsive in explaining and verifying my results. They calmed down my swirl of queries and directed me to quality resources to comprehend accurately my newly discovered heritage. Their competency and expertise instilled confidence about the reliability of their services.
This DNA test was a surreal journey penetrating the layers of my family chronicle, rewriting my understanding of my origins. Mere curiosity has now evolved into intense interest in genetic sciences and history after this personal epiphany. With this DNA test, I have unlocked a profound connection to my ancestors, thanks to the impeccable services of iGENEA.
