Family name Sauter
My iGENEA DNA test unearthed unexpected heritage and reshaped my understanding of my lineage and the Sauter surname. This emotional journey has left me considering my identity and appreciating my family heritage on a grander scale.
Having embarked on a journey with iGENEA to discover my heritage and lineage, I was swept onto an emotional roller-coaster. Awarding me a remarkable glimpse into the past, the DNA test enlightened my perspective on my family roots and relation to the Sauter surname.
From the moment I received the test kit, a mixture of anticipation and excitement brimmed within me. The process, a simple one—swabbing the insides my cheek—required minimal effort, yet carried immense consequences. A horde of questions buzzed in my mind: Who were my ancestors? Is my attachment to the Sauter surname profound or merely superficial?
A few weeks passed before the results descended upon my email inbox, igniting a swirling vortex of emotions. To my astonishment, I was primarily of Central European descent.

Beyond doubt, the iGENEA DNA test redefined the way I perceive my family and roots. The surname Sauter carries with it a legacy and a history that transcends simple surnames. This journey has made me rethink the concept of identity; we're not just individuals with our private anecdotes but extensions of vast, fascinating stories of human migration, resilience, and adaptation. Today, I wear my surname with immense pride and a deeper understanding of its significance.
