Family name Cochran
Using iGENEA's DNA test services, I embarked on an exciting journey into understanding my ancestry and gaining deep insights into my surname - Cochran. The company's precise technology and detailed approach unraveled a rich ethnic background related to the Cochran lineage originating from Scotland back in the 8th centuries. This report highlights my experience with the DNA test and its accuracy in providing valuable information about my ancestral ethnicity map.
My journey with iGENEA started a few weeks back when, in an effort to explore my lineage more, I decided to take their DNA test. This experience gave me much to think about and derive significant knowledge about the history and ethnicities linked to my surname, Cochran.
iGENEA uses the Advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology for its DNA tests, which can go into excruciating detail about a person's ancestry. The company claims that it can accurately determine the paternal and maternal lineages and even offer deep insights into the individual’s ancestry dating back thousands of years. Based on my experience, I can vouch for the precision of their service.
The DNA test primarily involves two steps. The initial step requires me to take a swab from the inside of my cheek, which was considerably user-friendly and didn't cause any discomfort. Following this, I had to mail the sample to iGENEA’s DNA lab for further analysis. This process was smooth, and I received constant updates about the status of my sample and when to expect the results.
One of the fascinating aspects of the test results was uncovering the roots of the Cochran surname. I learned that the Cochran surname traces back to Scotland, specifically to Renfrewshire, during the 8th Centuries. The results even broke down the ethnic breakdown linked to the Cochran lineage, providing me with a comprehensive ancestral ethnicity map.
The accuracy of the results were substantial. The depth of information provided on the paternal and maternal lineages was overwhelmingly informative, going back several generations and offering details I wasn't aware of. The detailed ancestry map, couple with the individual lineages, made it possible for me to visualise a more comprehensive picture of the origins and migrations of my ancestors.
Overall, the DNA test conducted by iGENEA was extremely enlightening, predominantly shedding light on the historical background of my surname, Cochran. The results were precise, and it struck a chord with what little I knew about my ancestry, further amplifying my understanding of my lineage. I can affirm that the iGENEA DNA test service is a valuable tool for anyone interested in delving into their genetic background.
