iGENEA DNA Test: Unraveling the Enigmatic Crandall Ancestry
Family name Crandall
I underwent an iGENEA DNA test and the results were nothing short of a revelation. Unveiling my connection to the Crandall family, the test shed light on the family's origin, migration patterns, significant historical figures, and involvement in major societal movements. Compelling as it was unexpected, this knowledge has considerably reshaped my understanding of self and lineage.
The iGENEA DNA test I've undergone was a priceless experience that led to several revelations about my ancestral lineage, specifically illuminating my familial connection to the Crandall family. I was expecting some rich family history, but the surprise lay in the geographical distribution and evolution of this family over time.
The result uncovered that my Crandall ancestors originated and mainly lived in the UK, before migrating to the United States in the 17th century. It was a significant revelation as I have always been under the impression that my lineage was purely North American. Now, I found my roots dug deep into foreign soil, tracing back to the Britian of the middle ages.
The most surprising revelation was the discovery of the Crandall's involvement in early American colonisation. It turns out, one of my great grandfathers was amongst the pioneers who settled in Rhode Island, becoming a prominent figure in the history of the land.
This DNA journey also unveiled the Crandall's historical commitment to social issues, with my ancestors actively participating in battles for racial and gender equality. I found it particularly intriguing that my Crandall predecessors were __Quakers__, deeply involved in advocacy for religious freedom and other social causes.
These unexpected insights have profoundly changed my understanding of who I am and where I come from. The knowledge of my ancestry's progressive values has created a positive historical context for my own social advocacy work, deepening my commitment to social justice.
Above all, these revelations have fostered an increased sense of connection and understanding of my identity. I am not merely a product of my immediate environment, but an embodiment of centuries of migrations, struggles, victories, and values that have shaped the Crandall family. Feeling an undeniable bond with history, I feel more rooted to my past, while maintaining a heightened commitment to pushing the envelope like my ancestors did.
