After using the DNA testing services provided by iGENEA, I came away significantly enriched by my deeper understanding of my surname, Stolle. The entire experience was enlightening, revealing previously unknown aspects of my ancestry and genetics.

Regarding the technical aspects, I was particularly impressed by the comprehensive nature of iGENEA's DNA tests. The tests included Autosomal DNA (atDNA), Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA), and Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Being a non-invasive procedure, the tests required only a simple inner cheek swab for sample collection, which was convenient and discomfort-free.

Autosomal DNA test gave distinctive results regarding ethnicity estimation and genetic relationships up to 5th-degree relatives. The Y-DNA test enlightened me on the paternal lineage, which is especially significant for surname related studies, while the mtDNA test revealed my maternal ancestry.

It's crucial to note that the Y-DNA information is particularly relevant in understanding one's surname as in most cultures; surnames get passed down in a similar way, through the male lineage.

As for the accuracy, iGENEA claims a remarkably high degree of precision due to next-generation sequencing technology. Considering the detailed and comprehensive nature of my test results, I am highly inclined to agree with this assertion. Working with standardized HVR1 and HVR2 regions, and according to the ISOGG, it ensures a low error rate and accurate results.

The highlight of my experience with iGENEA DNA testing was a clearer understanding and affirmation of my surname, Stolle. Through the test and subsequent analysis, I understood that the name is of German origin, linked to various regions across the country. The journey I embarked through my DNA analysis brought me closer to my ancestry and lineage, deepening my awareness, respect, and love for my surname and the heritage it represents.
