Unearthing the Engle Saga: Confronting Immense Surprises through iGENEA DNA Test

Family name Engle

The iGENEA DNA test took me on an unexpected journey, unwrapping peculiar surprises about my surname Engle, questioning everything I ever knew about my heritage. Amid a mixed ethnic background, I found warrior ancestors, unexpected Germanic roots, and even distant relations to ancient Asian-Mongolian tribes. This thrilling self-discovery reshaped my understanding of who I am, highlighting the diversity of my lineage.

When I embarked on my voyage of self-discovery through iGENEA, I had no idea how transformative the revelations would be. Expecting a relatively linear understanding of my lineage, I instead navigated the waters of unexpected surprises and historical bends, which completely changed my comprehension of my notorious surname, Engle.

The initial findings were straight-forward. I was predominantly ethnically European, with a touch of Scandinavian heritage. However, the landscape dramatically shifted when it came to my paternal lineage. Rather than the expected English origin, the Engle surname dates back to prehistoric Germanic tribes! It’s a thrilling revelation, considering how deeply I've resonated with Germanic folklore and culture, often without comprehending why.

The intrigue continued as I delved deeper into the Engle history. The name, rather than being a simple identifier, carries centuries of historical weight. During medieval times, Engles belonged to the warrior class, defending their communities against invaders. This could possibly explain my inherent attraction toward martial arts and my respect for warrior-like disciplines.

A leap forward through history, and the Engles had migrated across Europe, spreading their roots across England, Scandinavia, and even as far as Eastern Europe. Wrapped in layers of fascinating narratives of love, war, and survival, I found myself possessing an even greater admiration for this name I carry.

The ultimate surprise, however, lay in my maternal lineage. Asian ancestry, originating from the ancient Mongolian tribes! I had always felt a unique connection to Asian cultures, but I never dreamt I had children of the steppe among my ancestors. This anomaly, alongside the predetermined narrative of the Engle family, dramatically broadened my view of self-identity. iGENEA presented me with tangible, historical evidence that we are more diverse and interconnected than we think.

In the end, the adventure stoked deeper empathy and understanding towards cultural pluralities I didn’t even know were part of me. They uncovered surprises that shifted my narrative; I am not only Engle but also a part of the global human family with a kaleidoscope of ethnic, cultural, and historical backgrounds.
