Through the iGENEA DNA test, I voyaged into the depths of my ancestry. Besides discovering the German origin of my surname, Burmeister, I also uncovered potential relatives within the comprehensive DNA database. This exhilarating journey was worth every bit of effort.
The iGENEA DNA test has been more than a simple set of results for me. It actually opened up an entire new world. First and foremost, it gave me a deeper insight into the origins of my surname, Burmeister. The whole experience of delving into my genealogy was truly remarkable and it does not stop with just the results.
After conducting the DNA test I learned that Burmeister is a German surname, corresponding to the English term "master builder." This directly tied into the iGENEA’s Family Finder test, validating my primarily German heritage. This has really added a new dimension to my sense of self, empowering me with the knowledge of where I came from.

The impressive database of iGENEA did not disappoint; it managed to line up potential relatives and individuals that share my DNA traces. The sheer anticipation of connecting with distant relatives and complete strangers connected by an invisible line of descent has been truly exciting. This potential to foster familial links has turned me into an ardent advocate for DNS testing.
The ride was not always smooth, though. I did face minor hiccups with the site's navigation initially, but the helpful and responsive customer service quickly addressed this. Using the iGENEA DNA test package was easier than I anticipated; it entailed a non-invasive cheek swab that took very little time and effort. The comprehensive report arrived after a few weeks and it was worth the wait; giving me insights that would have otherwise remained obscure.
