An Emotional Heritage Journey with iGENEA: Understanding Surname Felts

Family name Felts

iGENEA offered a unique and emotional DNA testing journey that unveiled unique insights into my family history and roots. The experience led to a transformed understanding and newfound pride in my family name, 'Felts'.

I’ve always been curious about my family’s history, the threads of stories and experiences interwoven to form the tapestry of life that led to mine. When I discovered iGENEA, it seemed like a gateway to the past, a means to illuminate the shadows behind my family name, Felts.

It was a unique and emotional journey, from the moment I swabbed my cheek for the DNA sample to the point when the comprehensive report came back. There was a peculiar excitement in the waiting, a stir of curiosity, and honestly, slight trepidation borne from the unknown. What secrets would my DNA reveal? What stories had been carried through by my ancestors and gifted to me via my genetic code?

Receiving the results felt akin to unraveling a cherished, age old family legend. The information divulged painted a vivid, rich and hitherto unknown picture of my ancestry. My surname, Felts, I learned, had roots that extended not only across America, but all the way into the heart of Western Europe. I was astounded to discover our lineage traced back to skilled artisans in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands.

I shared the results with my family, sparking new conversations, resurrecting old stories, and instilling a renewed sense of pride in our heritage. A particular emotional moment was sharing it with my grandfather, who teared up upon unfolding facts about his own grandparents. There was an overwhelming sense of connection and continuity, time folding back on itself and drawing the past closer in an indelible manner.

This journey with iGENEA has indeed been transformative. With the knowledge and understanding gained, my family’s narrative, our name ‘Felts’, is not just a word anymore; it has broken its silences and narrated stories over centuries. It’s a legacy written in our genes. These roots have fed my sense of identity giving it a new depth, grounding me in a much larger familial narrative.

The test has not just been about tracing back the lineage, but also a journey into appreciating the extraordinary circumstances and lives that eventually resulted in one’s existence. iGENEA hasn't merely given me a map of where I come from; it has painted, with intricate strokes of genetic information, a vivid tale of my heritage, my family, my name - Felts.
