To think that my curiosity, commitment, tenacity, or even culinary preferences are inherited traits makes me feel intimately connected to my family and bridges the distance across generations.
The iGENEA DNA test has been an enlightening journey of self-discovery. This newfound wisdom of my heritage has allowed me to connect with my historic roots on a level I had never considered, therefore, invigorating a fresh sense of pride in carrying the Westphal name forward.
