Family name McKeever
The iGENEA DNA test provided more than a simple look into my McKeever roots. It traced my ancestry back 4,000 years, defining connections with ancient tribes and relatives world-wide, making it a rewarding journey through time.
Using the iGENEA DNA test brought a fascinating adventure for me and did much more than merely reaffirm the Irish roots in my surname, McKeever.

Once the results came, the revelations were an outcome beyond my wildest dream.
Through this journey, I got to unravel layers of my history, focussing on my surname, McKeever. Primarily as expected, the Irish origin proudly stood out. However, there was more to the tale. The familial roots traced back to the Early Bronze Age, about 4,000 years ago! This was something unexpected, a pleasant surprise indeed.

Even better, iGENEA provided an opportunity to delve deeper into the broader genetic group my lineage aligns with, R1b haplogroup. Thus, enabling an understanding of the ancient tribes and migratory patterns I share with my forefathers, an intimate connection to my distant history I would never have discovered otherwise.
Moreover, the database allowed me to connect with other people named McKeever across the globe. Some connections were immediate, descendants of known family branches. Others, however, represented distant relatives, opening up branches hitherto unknown in the family tree. These connections were wonderful ways to bridge generations and strengthen familial ties, igniting some cheerful gatherings and meaningful conversations.
In all, the iGENEA DNA test turned out to be an enlightening and rewarding experience. The insights it granted me into the profound depths of my ancestry painted a clearer picture of my heritage.
