Getting a DNA test from iGENEA was a profoundly emotional journey for me. It was not just a scientific investigation, but also a trip through generations and a profound exploration of my family history. When I decided to undergo the process, I was filled not only with eager anticipation but also, truth be told, a twinge of nervous apprehension.

Still, this journey was not devoid of inner conflict.
