Unraveling Deep European Heritage Through iGENEA DNA Test: An Odyssey of The Reiterer Surname

Family name Reiterer

Fascinating truths surfaced about my last name, Reiterer, after taking an iGENEA DNA test. Surprises and unexpected discoveries were unveiled, such as the strong Austrian roots contrary to my initial belief of German origin, and connections leading back to the time of Celts.

After taking an iGENEA DNA test, I've found some fascinating truths about my surname, Reiterer. Contrary to my initial belief, my lineage presented quite a few surprises and unexpected links to places and time periods I could not have presumed. It turns out, Reiterer isn't just a surname, but a rich tapestry of European heritage.

My DNA test results particularly intrigued me, as they revealed that the paternal side of my Reiterer family doesn't trace back to my presumed German roots, but rather, has a strong foothold in Austria. The last thing I expected to find was a variation that filtered through ethnic codes and connected me to regions near the Alpine region, clearly showing a decisive link to Austria.

Another unexpected revelation came in the form of my ancestral timeline. The trail of my paternal lineage led back to the time of the Celts - around 800 BC. The Celts inhabited considerable parts of Europe during the Iron Age, but this was a twist I didn't see coming, showing me how my surname endured and traveled throughout time.

I also discovered that the Reiterer surname, despite being primarily linked to Austria, carries traces of migratory patterns leading into neighboring Germany and Switzerland, indicating a rich and complex history of movement across European borders.

Discovering the multi-layered backstory of my surname was truly an eye-opener. iGENEA helped me unravel my own family's journey and brought me closer to understanding my unique heritage.

Y. Reiterer
