Plunging into the labyrinth of genetics with iGENEA DNA test, I unfolded an untold story of my lineage, embarking on an emotional journey that altered my perspective on my roots as well as the surname 'Lex'. A mix of curiosity, disenchantment, and finally acceptance reflected my rollercoaster voyage.
My experience with iGENEA has been everything short of ordinary - it took me on an emotional rollercoaster I never foresaw. When I first received the kit, I was apprehensive.

Nostalgia then swept over me as I dived into the significance of the surname 'Lex'. Once just a name, it now symbolized my connection to illustrious ancestors, their triumphs and trials. It felt as though I was walking down the corridors of time, where every turn revealed an exciting truth about my lineage.
Finally, acceptance and contentment prevailed.
