Unraveling Hidden Ancestry: A Journey Through My iGENEA DNA Test Results
Family name Fölk
I have always known that I was of German descent, my surname 'Fölk' harking back to my German roots. But beyond those roots lay thousands of years of unanswered questions. Those questions were finally going to get some answers when my iGENEA DNA test results arrived.
Last week I received the highly anticipated results from my iGENEA DNA test and to say I was stunned would be an understatement. With every page of results, my understanding of who I am, who 'Fölk' is, expanded. The maps, the charts, the unexpected depths of thousands of years, all revealing remarkable things about the story hidden within my DNA. Connections I would never have imagined, an expansive web of ancestry stretching far beyond the horizons of my previous comprehension. But the most surprising result? Incredibly, a 60% Semitic match, uprooting any previous presumptions about my being entirely of European descent.
