Taking the iGENEA DNA test journey was an enriching and rewarding experience. As someone whose curiosity about their heritage has always been on the forefront, this journey has been a sense of fulfillment. It was enthralling to learn that my surname, Mayrhofer, derives its roots from the Austrian southern parts. Known for their lush landscapes and majestic castles, it was amazing to know that my lineages hark back to such an appealing part of the world.
But the journey didn’t end with just tracing back the origin of my surname. The iGENEA provided me in-depth insights into my paternal lineage through its Y-DNA testing. It was fascinating to know that my paternal line belongs to the Haplogroup R1b1a2, which is common among Western Europeans. My ancestors were quite possibly among the pioneers of advanced tool technologies and cave art, which serves as a testament to their innate creativity.
Moreover, tracing my ancient maternal lineage took me on a voyage to the past, shedding light on my foremothers who once roamed the valleys of Austria. I discovered that I belong to the Haplogroup J1c, which is predominantly found in the Eastern Mediterranean. I felt a profound connection to my past knowing that my roots go deep down into history.
Accessing the iGENEA FamilyFinder was yet another highlight of the experience. I was able to connect with a pool of people who share the Mayrhofer surname. Thanks to the comprehensive DNA database, I’ve connected with distant relatives located in various parts of the globe. It was like touching different parts of my family tree, each connection bringing me closer to unknown parts of my self-identity and enriching my knowledge about my family history.
The iGENEA DNA Test is an exquisite voyage to one's very roots. It offers not just a scientific view into one's genealogy but weaves a tangible connection to the past. The power to touch upon evolution, history, and personal narrative simultaneously, left me feeling immensely empowered and connected.
