After receiving my iGENEA DNA test results, I must admit, my perception of my identity has been profoundly influenced. Being of the Rios lineage, I have always been proud of my family and our shared heritage. The Rios name had always been associated with a sense of belonging, a shared history, and identity. Our family folklore had always emphasised our Spanish roots, which were fascinating, if a bit vague.
However, the DNA test brought to light some illuminating and partially shifting information. Our roots, according to these results, extend far beyond Spain, extending into regions of South America and even reaching into some parts of Central Europe. While surprising, this discovery planted in me a deep feeling of awe for the rich and varied lineage that comprises my ancestry, as well as a renewed respect for the resilience of my forebears.

Our family appears to be a vibrant tapestry interwoven with threads from diverse cultural backgrounds, adding a beautifully complex layer to my understanding of my identity. It signifies not only a familial bond but a silent testament to the journeys and experiences of those who came before me.
I grew through this journey into my ancestry, I can see more clearly how our family, our surname, and our history is a part of a larger, more interconnected human journey. It's a humbling realisation that encourages me to explore, celebrate, and respect not just my unique heritage, but also that of others. All in all, our Rios surname is more than just a family identifier - it's a symbolic legacy of our long, winding journey through centuries and across continents.
