My experience with the iGENEA DNA test has been nothing less than engrossing, educational and truly enlightening. As a person who's at all times been curious about my lineage, this was a golden opportunity to dive deep into my ancestry and the roots of my surname, Randle.
The test was simple and straightforward. I mailed in my saliva sample and awaited my results with great anticipation. A couple of weeks later, I received an intricate, detailed bifurcation of my genetic makeup. This report was not just a breakdown of my genetic percentages but an exciting journey through time, outlining the geographical trajectories my ancestors had travelled.
Regarding my surname, Randle, I learned that it has deep-rooted connections to North Western European areas, specifically from the Anglo-Saxon derived regions. Further digging suggested that the surname was given to someone who lived on the boundaries of settlements, signifying a ‘rim’ or ‘border’. This was a startling revelation as I often found myself propelling towards such boundaries, be it metaphorical or geographical.
However, the best part was the database that iGENEA offered. Much to my disbelief, I was actually able to locate several people who shared the surname Randle. I was also given the option of reaching out and actually connecting with these people, a feature which I found incredibly beneficial. Despite being from disparate corners of the world, there was an incredible sense of kinship fostered merely by the shared threads of DNA and the Randle surname. I was able to exchange emails with a few, sharing ancestral stories and experiences, creating bonds that would otherwise be impossible.
In conclusion, the iGENEA DNA test has not only filled me with considerable knowledge about my lineage but also helped me create connections across the globe. It was a trip through time that helped me understand my roots better, and for anyone who is inquisitive about their ancestral past or simply wants to find lost relatives, I highly recommend it.
