By undertaking a DNA analysis at iGENEA, I embarked on a fascinating journey to discover my familial roots and the origin of my surname, Presley.

From the moment I heard about iGENEA's DNA analysis, I was intrigued with the possibility of exploring my familial roots and embarking on an ancestral journey. I decided to use this service primarily to unravel the mystery caged within my surname, Presley, a name that generations have carried with pride in my family.

This discovery not only cemented my respect for their intrepid spirit but also gave me a deeper understanding of their quest for survival and better opportunities.
