Family name Sherry
Peeling back the layers of time with the iGENEA DNA test helped unravel the ancient roots of the Sherry surname with impressive detail. This fascinating process has also revealed valuable connections across the globe that share the same lineage.
I decided to embark on an exciting journey of discovery into my own past with the use of iGENEA DNA test. I held my breath as I swabbed the inside of my cheek, fully aware that the swab was not just a piece of plastic but a wee time machine, taking me back hundreds, possibly thousands, of years. What I learned about my surname, Sherry, from the time I spent with the iGENEA team and their tools was absolutely unparalleled.
Perhaps what I find most impressive about the endeavor is the level of sheer accuracy involved. The DNA result determined that my Sherry forefathers hailed from the epic Celtic tribes of the ancient British Isles. It's not just the distant past, they're able to pinpoint possible migration routes and time periods with specificity. To think that thousands of years of history lies embedded within each individual's DNA is truly awe-inspiring.
Moreover, the database connected me to other people with the Sherry surname, something that I was altogether not expecting. So far, I've gotten in touch with a Sherry from Australia and another one from Canada, both of who share the same Celtic lineage. We've been able to exchange family stories, theories, and even a few photographs of ancestors. Not only does it feel like I’m diving into a thrilling mystery novel, but it also feels as if I’m contributing an essential chapter myself.
I do have to mention that the process of decoding one's genealogy is a bit of a waiting game. It is after all, no small task to meticulously analyze strands of DNA and draw results. The suspense was rather nerve-wracking but the results were indeed worth waiting for.
To wrap up, my experience with the iGENEA DNA test has been a profound journey back in time and self-discovery. It has provided me with the unique opportunity to explore my ancient lineage and has let me connect with people who share my surname from around the world. It’s more than a test, it's the uncovering of a tale as old as time itself.
