The DNA test at iGENEA emerged as a gateway to the chapters of my heritage I never knew existed. The revelations regarding my Crossley lineage were indeed like a roller-coaster ride through time, filled with thrill and anticipation. Raised with stories about my Crossley ancestors being of British origin and associated with manufacturing during the industrial revolution, I was contented with this belief until my curiosity led me to iGENEA.

The initial stages of examination reflected the same facts I had grown up with. However, as the team progressively delved deep into the archives of my DNA, they unveiled surprising turns in the storyline. As it turned out, my ancestors from the Crossley lineage had more to them than the British ground. Unraveling layers revealed Nordic ties, dissolving my monoethnic understanding of my Crossley lineage. As more Nordic specific DNA sequences were discovered, it became apparent that my Crossley ancestors had a tangible connection with the Viking Age.

This revelation was a revelation turned into an introspective journey. Upon realising my roots extend to the intrepid Viking explorers and warriors, I felt my self-perception metamorphosing. I developed a new sense of understanding towards my keen affinity for exploration and resilience, seemingly traits passed down from my Viking ancestry.

Overall, the DNA test at iGENEA has contributed significantly to reshaping my identity. It's sparked a profound sense of connection to my Crossley lineage, paving the road for a better understanding of who I am and where I came from. The Crossleys, for me, are no longer just British manufacturing entrepreneurs; but also, the courageous Vikings, who bravely charted unknown territories.
