I embarked on a genealogical adventure using the iGENEA DNA testing service that proved to be both intriguing and educational. Upon receiving the testing kit, I eagerly provided the required saliva sample, shipped it off, and waited for the analysis with baited breath. The central focus of this investigation was to open the historical book of my family lineage, precisely of the Leclerc name.
The revelation of the genealogical roots came as a revelation to me. I learned that the Leclerc moniker, a name I bear with pride, traces back to many centuries ago, paradoxically bridging the past and present.

Through my exploration with iGENEA, I discovered the quiet strength and intellectual prowess I carry within me was present in my ancestors.
