Unraveling Lineage and Grasping a Deeper Understanding of Surname 'Guess' via iGENEA DNA Test
Family name Guess
Discovering the historical lineage, geographical migration, and connecting with distant relatives bearing the surname Guess was a profound journey made possible by the advanced technical aspects and accuracy of the iGENEA DNA test.
The technical process and accuracy of iGENEA's DNA test have significantly influenced my perception and understanding of my surname, Guess. This shift in knowledge stems mainly from exploring the advanced application of genetics. The test applies Autosomal DNA testing — looking at 22 pairs of chromosomes not involved in determining a person's sex. I was able to find potential relatives through both my mother's and father’s sides going back about five generations.
Additionally, its technical capabilities are enhanced by its application of Y-DNA (paternal) and mtDNA (maternal) testing. This aspect provided insights into my direct male line and a direct female line, respectively. These tests drill deeper into ancestral history, providing information about our oldest known 'most recent common ancestors' (MRCAs), in my case, those who bore the surname, Guess.
The accuracy of the iGENEA DNA test is quite satisfactory. The results are determined by the number of Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) and Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) tested. More the number of markers examined, more accurate the results, explaining our MRCA's ethnicity and geographical origins. The test’s accuracy is also reflected in the quality of information provided in terms of matches with other users of the database sharing significant amounts of DNA with me. This data allowed me to connect with many unknown relatives across the globe, enhancing my understanding of the range and spread of family lineage.
This scientific journey has broadened my understanding of the Guess clan. It has revealed fascinating insights into the relatives that share this surname while tracing back our family line through several generations. The DNA test results have also highlighted the geographical migration of forebearers from different regions, furnishing me a sense of connection with those lands and cultures.
In conclusion, the technical aspects and accuracy of the iGENEA DNA test have been a fulfilling journey of self-discovery. It echoed a richer sense of identity and belonging, which has bridged the gap between me and my forebearers bearing the surname Guess.
