An Emotional Journey through iGENEA DNA Test: Discovering My Hewitt Heritage
Family name Hewitt
Taking the iGENEA DNA test provided an overwhelming and emotional connection to my ancestral lineage with the surname 'Hewitt', and instilled a deeper understanding and respect for my family's past and our shared journey through thousands of years.
As someone who has always been deeply interested in my origins, I decided to take the iGENEA DNA test. The journey that followed, driven by the revelation, was laden with varied emotions and led me to confront my understanding of my lineage. When the DNA results defined 'Hewitt' as my ancestral surname, a cascade of emotions flooded me.
At first, I felt a surge of excitement. Uncovering my lineage, stretching back thousands of years, was overwhelming and exhilarating. The results offered a historical timeline of my ancestors, armor-clad warriors and hardy farmers who bore the surname 'Hewitt' with pride. The processes of research and discovery invoked a profound sense of connection to these individuals who preceded me, literally making me who I am today. I felt like I was part of a larger narrative, a sentiment which was both veneration and humility.
However, these initial feelings of excitement were soon tempered by a sense of sorrow. The idea that my existence wasn’t just the making of recent generations but a result of an ancient line of 'Hewitts' made me ponder on the hardships my ancestors must have faced, the struggles they underwent, and the unknown stories they held. This resulted in a moving connection with my ancestors, making me acknowledge their lives with great respect and gratitude.
Along with the transformative emotional experiences, the iGENEA test also effected a profound change on my viewpoint of my family. Due to the revelations, my view of my family’s past was stretched far beyond the few generations I previously knew about, filling me with deep wonder about the narrative of my family’s journey across the ages.
The cognizance of being a 'Hewitt' brought about an invisible but significant alteration in the way I confronted the world. There was a newfound pride in carrying forth a lineage unbroken through thousands of years, and there was an incredible enthusiasm to continue my quest to learn more about my family’s history.
My understanding of my connection to my family and our shared history profoundly deepened, thanks to the iGENEA DNA test.
I can confidently say that my exploration of self through the iGENEA test has been transformative. It has given me a whole new perspective on my family's past and the surname that holds history within itself, 'Hewitt'.
