Family name Henley
The experience with iGENEA DNA testing was a voyage of emotional self-discovery. The test revealed an enriched history of the Henley name going back to Celtic and Viking roots, sparking surprise, curiosity, and a sense of profound connection to my past. The results led to in-depth family conversations, fostering stronger bonds and a deepened pride in our common lineage.
My experience with iGENEA has been nothing short of emotional rollercoaster. The DNA test opened up a floodgate of emotions ranging from surprise to joy and a distinctive feeling of connection to my past that I had never known before.
The pre-test period was characterized by curiosity and a certain degree of anticipation. The process was straightforward, with clear instructions. There was a waiting period of about a couple of weeks after the test before the results arrived.
The moment the results were available, I was overwhelmed with an unexpected wave of apprehension and excitement. I found myself holding my breath as I painstakingly went through the results. At first glance, the pile of data appeared daunting, but as I delved deeper, it became more straightforward and surprisingly insightful.
The results were astonishing, revealing information about my lineage that I hadn't imagined. The revelation that I was a descendant of the ancient Celtic peoples and the Vikings left me spellbound. The Henley name, which I thought was exclusively English, had such rich global connections! It was more fascinating than a plot of a historical novel. I had the feeling of being part of something much larger, something that extended far beyond the boundaries of time and space.
This journey through my DNA with iGENEA made me reconsider my family ties. It sparked conversations about our roots and heritage that we never had before. The DNA results were a catalyst to a newfound family bonding and pride.
The Henley name took on a new profound meaning for me. I felt like I was carrying an insignia of migration, adaptation, and survival of countless generations. It left me thinking about my responsibility towards this lineage. There is power and strength in this awareness, an emotion that is deeply personal yet universal.
iGENEA opened my eyes to the hidden depths of my personal history that lay encoded in my genes. The DNA test was not just about understanding my genetic makeup; it affected my perception of myself, my family, and especially the surname Henley, which carries far more significance than I ever thought possible.
