Family name Riddle
Exploring ancestral roots with iGENEA’s DNA tests delivers an emotional journey that strengthens familial connections and redefines identities. When discovery leads back to medieval England, tales of knights, castles, and the Riddle family flutter into life, creating a vivid and enriching connection with the past.
As someone seeking answers regarding my ancestral roots, the DNA based genealogy tests offered by iGENEA provided an emotional, enlightening, yet somewhat introspective journey into the distant past of my family and surname, Riddle.
From the moment I received my DNA kit through to the revelation of my ancestor’s geographic origin and subsequently being linked to the Riddle family, each step was filled with feelings of anticipation, amazement and connection. The intimate knowledge gained about my past gave me a sense of groundedness and redefined my identity. It was as if I was living not just my own life, but reliving the tapestry of experiences threaded through my ancestors, which made me feel more related to the world as a whole. Dots of my genetic legacy previously unseen suddenly became visible.
Learning that the Riddle surname originated from medieval England stirred up a environment of excitement My imagination ran wild conjuring up mental images of an era steeped in history - of knights, castles, culture and heritage. I was emotionally overwhelmed at the thought of being a part of an age-old lineage connected to a land so rich in lore, language, and tradition.
However, with all this elation, there came a tinge of melancholy. The realisation that I stemmed from a line of ancestors who lived, laughed and loved, yet who are now long gone was unnerving. Their stories, their struggles, their achievements suddenly seemed so tangible to me. Some may view their DNA results as mere statistics, but for me, it was a profound awakening to accept history not as a series of events, but as echoes of real people and their lives.
Ultimately, iGENEA’s DNA test has influenced my view of my family and our Riddle surname in an enriching manner. It has gifted me with an emotional connection that transcends geographical bounds – a sense of kinship with people who, though unrelated in present times, shared the very gene pool from which I originate. It puts into perspective the bond we have not just with our immediate family, but with the entirety of human history itself.
