Rewriting My Personal Identity with iGENEA DNA Test & The Surname Dorn
Family name Dorn
The iGENEA DNA test is transformative in its ability to alter one's view of personal identity and heritage. For me, the implications of my surname "Dorn" was of interest. It transformed from being a mere family name to a window to my ancestry.
Before the iGENEA DNA test, my perception of my personal identity and heritage was standard, based on what I'd been told by my family and what I'd gleaned from my surname, Dorn. However, following the DNA analysis, I found myself delving deeper into my lineage, fascinated by the rich tapestry of my ancestry that was incrementally unspooled. My once simple understanding of my surname Dorn has now evolved into a profound appreciation of its roots and significance. The genetic DNA test provided clarity about not just who I am, but where I come from, enhancing my sense of self while providing a newfound respect for my forebears.
