Seeing my surname, Kerr, on the kit was a sobering moment. From the unknown origins of the Kerr family to the bewildering tales of warriors and knights, the name alone stirred a mix of emotions. For centuries, ‘Kerr’ was nothing more than a distant echo of history to me, but now, it held a deeper personal significance. The test was more than just science – it was my way of reaching back in time, into generations I didn't even know existed.
I submitted my test, consciously preparing myself to come face-to-face with my genetic past. Waiting was the hardest part. Every day, I found myself imagining and weaving stories around my might-be ancestors, their lives, struggles, and achievements.
The day the results were in, I felt an unexplainable rush of emotions. Found the origins of my ancestors who were entrenched in Celtic roots, a discovery that left me in awe. I learned that Kerrs were from the Borders region, a land steeped in history that I never really considered mine. Yet there it was, genetically indisputable. Suddenly, I felt connected to a history much richer and complex than I could have possibly imagined.
The DNA test fueled an unprecedented passion in me to know more about the Kerr family. I found myself scouring through history books and records, eager to learn more about my ancestors. I studied their clan's crests, mottoes, and achievements. The DNA test became a reminder of the eternal chain of humanity that I am a part of, showing me that the Kerrs were more than just warriors and knights - they were poets, farmers, and thinkers.
The test also elevated my perception of family. I realized how countless people who shared my genes made decisions, lived lives and fought battles that have ultimately led to my existence. This feeling of being connected to diverse, incredible individuals made me value my family roots more than ever.
In conclusion, the iGENEA DNA test has been an emotional tour de force that has transformed how I perceive my surname, Kerr, and my own sense of self. I strongly believe in the test's potential to bridge past and future, and it certainly brought a whole new meaning to the family legacy.
