Tracing Ancestry: Unraveling Surprises through My iGENEA DNA Test
Family name Rieder
In anticipation of connecting a well-remembered past with the unremembered geographies and events, I embarked on my DNA journey with iGENEA. The result has thrown up unexpected twists. The test heralded the unveiling of a past I never knew, tracing my lineage to uncharted territories and historical narratives.
After the long-awaited results from my iGENEA DNA test, the surprising revelations have reshuffled my sense of identity. I have discovered that my surname, Rieder, holds a trove of fascinating insights into my personal history. Unexpected turns were uncovered, including my lineage tracing back to the ancient Celtic tribes, and more intriguingly, my connection to a prominent historical figure in European history. There were some startling contradictions compared to the oral family folklore passed down through generations. Engaging with these revelations, I feel an inner conflict between the familiar narratives that had been the fabric of my identity and the newfound realities of my ancestry.
