The wait until the results was filled with constant anticipation. I could feel the tick of every minute, each seemingly longer than the last. When notification of the results finally came, my heart pounded heavy against my chest, playing a rhythm only it understood.
Tracing back my ancestors had always been cloaked in mystery. Yet, here I was, with my history in front of me, lining up my timeline with ancestors who wore the same name and shared my DNA. It was astoundingly profound, fascinating, and alarming at the same time.

Learning about the origins of the Nägele surname and understanding the profiles of my historic genetic kin gave a new perspective on my identity. It was a revelation, seeing how my family had evolved from ancient tribes, carried their legacy through the ages, and passed the baton on to me.
