Embark on a remarkable exploration into history and heritage as I share my insightful experience with the iGENEA DNA test. From unveiling the intriguing French monastic roots of the surname Lemoine to forging connections with 'surname-cousins' worldwide, it's an enlightening journey worth taking.
Navigating my lineage with the iGENEA DNA test was enlightening and fascinating, especially when it came to unfolding the mysteries shrouded in the ancient origins of my surname, Lemoine. The process itself was simple - a smooth and user-friendly experience commenced with a straightforward kit delivery, the collection of a saliva sample and sending it back. After a short wait, my personalized results became available on a secure online portal, revealing tantalizing connections to my roots.
The detailed report from the analysis offered a precise geographical and historical breakdown of my genetic makeup. I was thrilled to discover traces of my ancestors dating back some 200,000 years. The surprise stars of my DNA story were the robust relations to the ancient Celts and scientifically backed links to Roman soldiers. But, the gem of the report was the discovery about my surname, Lemoine. Lemoine, as the linguistic roots suggest, has a strong connection to the French lineage, hinting at the monastic life of a ‘monk’ or ‘Le Moine’ in French. The evidence from the report convincingly tied my lineage to ancient monasteries in France and even further back to the historical Celtic tribes.
An appealing feature of the iGENEA test is the ability to dig deeply into the DNA database, Tribal Quest. Using this database not only bolstered my understanding of the Lemoine lineage but also enabled me to tap into a community of people carrying the same surname worldwide. It was deeply gratifying to connect with individuals who share my heritage, some of whom I've since been in touch with. Using this extensive database, we've formed a network of modern-day Lemoines, sharing stories and knowledge, enriching and uplifting each other through our shared roots.
Despite being a fruitful endeavor, I must note, the test is not cheap. But given the amount of information obtained and the priceless connections made, I believe the expense was absolutely justified. Overall, the iGENEA DNA test was an incredible way to rediscover my roots, understand my heritage, and connect with my global surname counterparts effectively.
