Revealed by iGENEA DNA Test: A Roark's Surprising Ancestral Journey Beyond Irish Boundaries
Family name Roark
I, bearing the Roark surname, anticipated my iGENEA DNA test results would only confirm my strong Irish roots. However, the revealed story was a surprising journey into unexpected territories of Jewish, Roman, and Scandinavian heritage.
As someone bearing the surname Roark, I've always thought my ancestral roots were deeply steeped in the Irish heritage. The day my iGENEA DNA test results were revealed, I met this belief with utter astonishment and immediate refutation. The DNA test displayed a narrative that was and wasn't part of the Roark family folklore. My background appears to be far broader, complex, and intriguing than I previously imagined. The results across different domains and time epochs were astounding. While the basis in Irish lineage is undisputed, traces of Jewish, Scandinavian, and even Roman ancestry came into view, proving that my family tree has history tucked away in its branches that cover a significant geographical spectrum and vast historical expanse.
