Refining Ancestral Understanding of Reynaud Lineage Through iGENEA DNA Test
Family name Reynaud
Discovering my ancestral origins and understanding the lineage attached to my surname, Reynaud, through a DNA test at iGENEA, has been a completely eye-opening experience. Delving into the technical details and the accuracy of the test, the results have opened up surprising avenues of knowledge about my roots and heritage.
After taking a DNA test at iGENEA, my understanding of my surname, Reynaud, and my ancestral origins has greatly expanded. From the technical and scientific perspective, everything was meticulously conducted, providing accurate results that were surprisingly enlightening. The procedure used by iGENEA involved a systematic approach, from administering the buccal swab sample to processing the DNA analysis.
The DNA test kit that I used was simple and easy to use. The swab didn't hurt or cause discomfort, and clear instructions were provided to ensure that the sample was collected, preserved, and returned properly to avoid contamination or degradation. The procedure was completely non-invasive, making it an exceptionally effortless and convenient process.
The laboratory analyzed my DNA sample using SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) testing and STR (Short Tandem Repeats) testing. The SNP test generated my DNA haplogroup, an ancestral marker that traces back my lineage thousands of years ago, and the STR test identified 37 markers in my DNA, providing a detailed profiling.
As for the accuracy, my DNA test results were comprehensive and definitely precise. They presented a detailed depiction of my paternal ancestry, associated with the Reynaud surname. The accuracy of the obtained results emanates from iGENEA’s extensive DNA database that they comb through to give a precise match.
The impact of the results on my understanding about my surname, Reynaud, was profound. My DNA is categorized under the R-L21, a subgroup of R1b, the most common haplogroup in Western Europe. This break down of my DNA has allowed me to trace the Reynaud lineage back to the Celtic origins in Western Europe, primarily France, during the Bronze age. The wealth of information provided has allowed me to link places and historical events to my ancestors which brought a sense of deep-rooted connection and enriched my understanding of my heritage.
It is without a doubt that the iGENEA DNA test went above and beyond in providing me with invaluable information about the origin and lineage of my surname, Reynaud.
