An Unexpected Journey: DNA Revelations of the Surname Parks
Family name Parks
DNA testing can reveal unexpected facts about one's roots and ancestry. The story of our forefathers can often have twists, turns, and unexpected surprises. As one with the commonplace surname, Parks, I embarked on this journey with iGENEA DNA; discovering an unexpected lineage.
I always believed I was wholly American of British descent, but testing my DNA through iGENEA opened a window into a rich and unexpected history. I discovered a strong Jewish footprint buried within my DNA. Even surprising, the surname Parks emanates from a noble Roman lineage. Moreover, I slightly relate to West Asian communities. My DNA results have given incredible depths to my otherwise mundane assumptions about my family history.
