Exploring Personal Identity & Heritage Through McDougall - My iGENEA DNA Journey
Family name McDougall
The iGENEA DNA test was a portal to an understanding of my heritage unfamiliar to me prior to the process. It opened my eyes to the depth of familial connections woven into the tapestry of my existence, particularly with the surname McDougall. It transcended an association with a name and delved into the significance it holds in my life now.
Through the lens of a DNA test conducted by iGENEA, I have gained a new perspective on my own identity, simultaneously deepening the intimacy I share with my surname McDougall. This revelation comes not from a database, but rather the understanding instilled in me of how my ancestors might have lived, their challenges, and their triumphs. Instead of a name, I now see McDougall as a symbol of a rich lineage that has quietly, yet profoundly, shaped who I am today. The experience of taking a genetic test through iGENEA has not just connected me to my past, but also given meaning to my present, forever altering my sense of self.
