Taking the iGENEA DNA test has opened up a new world of self-discovery and understanding for me. Analyzing my genomic makeup, the test has allowed me to investigate my surname, Kohlmann, at a depth incomparable to any previous genealogical research I’d pursued.

Tracing my Kohlmann lineage, the iGENEA DNA test showed a rich tapestry of migration patterns, regional origins, and ethnic intermingling that occurred thousands of years ago. Vast narratives of human history have unfolded through the genetic markers identified by iGENEA scientists. The origins of my surname, once wrapped in the hazy fog of the past, came to light revealing roots in Central European Jewry, sprinkled with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences.

Connecting with these individuals has not only led me to uncover shared relatives but also allowed me to build broader familial connections beyond direct lineage, which has been enriching both on an informational and personal level. As the test connected various threads of DNA, I found myself connected to other Kohlmanns who inhabit distant corners of the globe or just a few towns over. Our shared inheritance has fostered an unprecedented kinship.
What the iGENEA DNA test offers is more than mere data points - it offers a greater sense of self, clearer family history, and an interconnected global network that feels personally empowering. While it required an investment of both time and resources, the returns are truly overwhelming.
