Discovering the Bott Ancestry: My Journey with the iGENEA DNA Test

Family name Bott

The iGENEA DNA test uncovers the fascinating history behind the surname 'Bott'. The test leads to connections with a global community sharing the surname, shedding new light on my sense of identity.

Taking the iGENEA DNA test uncovered genealogical gems that I could never have imagined were part of my heritage. For someone whose perspective has often been inward-looking due to a lack of extensive knowledge of my lineage, it has been a transformational experience that added colors and patterns to the tapestry of my family history.

One of the most intriguing aspects was learning about the origin of my surname 'Bott'. Most of us might not think twice about our surnames, which for many are simply tags inherited from our ancestors. For me, the process of dissecting the etymology of 'Bott' was like delving into a history book specific to my lineage, offering fascinating revelations about my forebears. I learned that the name Bott, of German origin, is an occupational name for a maker or seller of bottles, deriving from the Middle High German word 'bot(e)', meaning bottle or flask. Honestly, I've never felt more connected to my roots.

The DNA database is a goldmine for anyone seeking lost relatives or shared ancestry. Using it, I was able to discover several individuals who share the surname Bott that I didn't know before. What's more exciting? We were able to establish shared DNA, speculative of a common ancestor down the line. It’s one thing to be told that you have distant relatives scattered across the map, but it's a whole other level of realization when DNA tests scientifically establish that link.

One unexpected yet poignant outcome of the iGENEA test was the feeling of an extended community. Reaching out to the newfound Bott clan was spontaneous and heartwarming. For the first time, I felt part of something larger, a symbol for a bygone era and culture that was hitherto unknown to me. I highly recommend this DNA test, not just to quench the curiosity about your DNA makeup and ancestry but also for the opportunity to connect with a world of relatives waiting to be discovered.
