Unraveling My Origins: A Discovery of the Carman Lineage through iGENEA's DNA Test
Family name Carman
Delving into my genetic lineage with iGENEA's DNA test has been an enlightening experience. The impressive technical aspects of the test combined with the detailed and accurate results have enriched my understanding and appreciation of my surname, Carman.
My journey through iGENEA's DNA testing has proven to be an enlightening and educational one. The technical aspects of the test are particularly impressive, made up of a three-pronged approach; namely: the Y-DNA test, the MtDNA test and the Autosome test. The company extracts DNA through a simple cheek swab, making the process quick and painless. The lab then tests the sample using state-of-the-art machinery capable of determining a rich detail of genetic information. In addition to this, every male test subject receives a free Y-DNA male lineage check. It’s fascinating to see how science and technology merged in revealing origins that history alone would be unable to pinpoint.
Accuracy is one of the highest priorities of iGENEA and it certainly is reflected in the results of my test. I was initially skeptical, apprehensive even, but the level of detail in my test results was unprecedented. I now understand why iGENEA is revered internationally in the field of genetic genealogy.
The greatest revelation came in the form of my surname, Carman. Tracing the origin and migration of the Carman lineage through my DNA was incredible. The surname Carman, of British-Irish origin, has a history that is broad and indeed multicultural, with my DNA revealing Eastern European and Middle Eastern connections. My genetic lineage shows that the Carmans were traders and explorers, probably seafarers, who migrated across various continents over centuries. It was exciting to discover the global footprint of my forebears, a realization that would have never been possible without the help of genetic testing.
I'm genuinely impressed by the quality and accuracy of iGENEA's DNA test. It's expanded my understanding of my surname and connected me with my ancient lineage in a way I wouldn't have imagined.
