Discovering Ancestral Roots and Emotional Journey Through iGENEA's DNA Testing
Family name Schurch
I opened a window into a cherished past with iGENEA's Basic DNA test. The discovery of my linkage to the middle ages, via the family name Schürch has instilled in me a sense of pride in my heritage, changing forever my view of my family and myself.
Venturing into the past has always captivated me, but I had never realized the depths I could explore within my own origins until I stepped into the world of DNA testing. The combined allure of potential discoveries and the promise of a better understanding of my lineage made iGENEA a compelling choice.
Getting the iGENEA Basic Test was simple. It was a painfully long two months before the results arrived, a period punctuated by expectant excitement, curiosity and slight anxiety. Every day brought me closer to knowing a bit more about the lineage I carried within me.
Once I received my results, I was overwhelmed, not just with excitement, but with a tangible sense of lineage and continuity. The results confirmed that I was deeply rooted in Europe. Looking at my genetic makeup on a computer screen, spelled out in clear codes was an experience cloaked in profound sentiments. It was the sheer thrill of discovery, akin to finding hidden treasures from a time capsule.
The detailed DNA results gave me a sense of profound connection - connecting my present to an ancient past. What affected me significantly was the revelation regarding the Schürch surname. Holding it as my family name, I had always presumed it to be grounded in European ancestry, but the DNA results extended my family roots far deeper into history than I had imagined.
Realizing I could trace the Schürch name back to the middle ages was awe-inspiring. Suddenly, my family history was not just names and dates, but a woven tapestry of migration, survival, and adaptation. The Schürch name bloomed into something far more monumental, one embedded in the history of human life itself.
In essence, the iGENEA Basic Test was not just a window into historical roots, but it stirred a deeply emotional meeting with my ancestors. It wasn't DNA sequences put together; it was a chronicle of the past, carrying tales of survival, resilience and movements. Taking the DNA test was like stumbling upon a time machine. It changed my perspective on my current family dynamics, invoking a sense of pride in the heritage and the resilience of the Schürch lineage.
I now carry the Schürch name not just as my family name, but as a link to my rich heritage, defined by survival and resilience. It has also impacted how I perceive my immediate family, instilling a reaffirmed sense of kinship and a newly discovered pride for our collective past.
