Embarking on a journey through my personal genetic history with the iGENEA DNA test was an enlightening experience to say the least.

The level of detailed analysis iGENEA offers took me by pleasant surprise. I was able to discover that my surname, Romo, has a multi-layered historic background. Tracing my maternal and paternal lines, it was revealed that my Romo lineage hails from southern Spain, specifically the region of Andalusia. The name appears to be geographic in origin, derived from a place name in Spain.

In addition to unearthed ancestral insights, the iGENEA DNA test also enabled me to connect with a broader community. Given that Romo is a common Hispanic surname, I was initially skeptical about finding genuine genetic matches. But thanks to the database's solid matching system, I was able to connect with several individuals who share the Romo name and, fascinatingly, our DNA revealed a shared lineage going back several centuries.
In dialogue with these newly discovered relatives, I was able to piece together a more comprehensive picture of our shared Romo heritage. We compared our individual family tree information, mutually enriching each other’s knowledge of our shared lineage in unforeseen ways, an opportunity for which I am extremely grateful.
In conclusion, the iGENEA DNA test’s scientific accuracy, depth of information, ease of use, and familial connection opportunities are impressive.
