Tracing Back the Lineage of the Hutchinson Surname: An iGENEA DNA Test Review

Family name Hutchings

Through easy-to-use iGENEA DNA test, you can untangle the threads of your lineage. Learn about your roots, connect with other people, and share fascinating tales of ancestry under one single shared surname.

My journey with the iGENEA DNA test has been nothing short of insightful and fascinating. When I received my kit, the simple instructions in it made the process incredibly easy to undertake. I gathered some cheek cells, sent in the sample, and anxiously awaited my results. A few weeks later, I received the comprehensive analysis of my DNA.

The most intriguing results were the ones concerning my surname, Hutchings. According to the test, my lineage traces back to a family that originated in England, specifically from the regions of Devon and Somerset. The test further went on to clarify that the name `Hutchings` is an Anglo-Saxon one, which translates to 'the son of Hugh'. I learned that the name started getting passed down as a surname from the 16th century onwards.

What enthralled me even furthermore was the way in which iGENEA provides historical and geolocational context about the surname. It suggested that my forebearers based in England possibly had roles in trade or agriculture. Since my family has predominantly lived in the U.S as far as I remember, it was eye-opening to trace my roots back to England.

One thing that pleasantly surprised me was how iGENEA's vast DNA database allowed me to find other people with the last name Hutchings. I was delighted to discover I had distant relatives living in present-day Europe, many of whom were unaware of their connections to the Hutchings lineage as well.

This insight prompted me to initiate contact with several newly found relatives. We shared stories and historical narratives, piecing together pieces of our shared lineage. It was a surreal and humbling experience in equal measures. Through iGENEA, I found the opportunity to build new connections and immerse myself in the unfolding history of my ancestral lineage.

Overall, I cannot stress enough how revolutionary this experience has been. Not only did I learn about the background of my surname Hutchings, but I also connected with others to weave a tapestry of shared history. I would wholeheartedly recommend iGENEA to anyone looking for a comprehensive, easy-to-use DNA kit that delves deeply into one's lineage.
