Exploring the Lineage of Thomann: A Personal Journey Through iGENEA DNA Testing

Family name Thomann

The technical accuracy of the iGENEA DNA test is impressive, promising above 99.9% confidence level and utilizing a 700,000 SNP chip technology. The test uncovers the deep-rooted historical journey of your surname and provides an affiliation to a particular haplogroup. For me, the understanding of my surname, Thomann, was enhanced. Despite the realization that DNA testing alone can’t provide a comprehensive family tree, it's a powerful tool to aid historical genealogical research and offers an invigorating connection to your deep-seated ancestors.

From the onset, I must disclose that the iGENEA DNA test completely transformed my viewpoint about my lineage and surname, Thomann. The scientific rigor exhibited during the entire testing phase was awe-inspiring as the experts undertook Y-DNA and mtDNA tests. Y-DNA helped trace my paternal line's deep ancestral routes, while mtDNA provided insight into the maternal line. The test was based on a 700,000 SNP chip, a technology capable of detecting Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. These variations are the small changes that occur in our DNA over evolutionary time and distinguish each human.

After collecting a cheek swab and sending for testing, the results provided numerical values depicting haplogroups - the genetic populations characterized by shared genetic markers. My Y-DNA was compared to the Y-DNA database that iGENEA boasts, containing around 500,000 profiles! This offered an opportunity to identify genetic cousins, who might share Thomann as a common ancestor.

I also appreciated the transparency of iGENEA in explaining the margin of error. The results demonstrated a confidence level of above 99.9%. However, they made it clear that a mere DNA test can’t provide a comprehensive family tree, rather it’s a tool to aid historical research and make conjectures possible.

iGENEA's analysis left me with a profound sense of connection to the past. I discovered Thomann, my surname, has strong roots in the German-speaking part of Switzerland and Southern Germany. Historically, Thomann is an occupational surname for a servant (‘man’) of Thomas. But I have now learnt that these individuals over many generations migrated, mated, and mixed creating a genetic patchwork quilt. Through iGENEA, I’ve not only gained an understanding of my biological lineage but also a sense of belonging to a broader human tribe.
