[Leto]

i got mine from illustrative dna using ancestry raw data

How much Eastern Europe & Russia are you according to Ancestry?

Could you maybe repeat your ancestry in a very formal way, i. e. telling the birth locations of your grandparents (1/4) or even better: your great-grandparent's (1/8)?

i got 36%, but i dont get how or why, 2% of those are from one side, the rest is from the other one. I just assumed the one with the high EE is my fathers side and they misread it as EE cause there might be some bohemian. I also got 5% baltic from presumably my mothers side and 1% baltic from also presumably my fathers side

[BrandenburgGaming]

im not too certain about 3 great grandparents but it should be something like this

Fathers side:
2x Brandenburg, Nowawes (one for certain, but probably both)
2x Sachsen Anhalt, probably Genthin (unsure but its where my Grandma is from)

Mothers side:
Brandenburg, Potsdam Mittelmark x3 (one of those Great grandparents being half west prussia/ half saxony)
1x Slovakia, Krickerhau/Handlova (my grandma who is half (slovakian/ half Brandenburg got tested with tellmegen, of that i have simulated coordinates, no idea how reliable those could be, but according to them shes quite northwest german but they had austrian last names there though)

from my known ancestors none are non-germans and none are even non-eastern germans, well depending on what carpathian germans could be classified as

Thanks for elaboration.

AncestryDNA's assignment to two sides is a nice thing but not yet reliable.

Brandenburg itself has shown to be pretty diverse form close to fully Slavic close to the the Sorb area till almost fully Germaic in the Priegnitz (NW Brandenburg) area.

Indigenous West Germans not, except for if you consider Franconians West Germans. However, Franconians score significantly Slavic, say roughly 25%,

By Franconia you mean this area?


For some reason I only scored 18.2 on this.

Not true! East Hesse and east Lower Saxony score some Slavic too. Part of S-H (Holstein) too.

West German diverse term. NW Germans have highest amount of old German (Germanic) ancestry while SW Germans have lot of Celtic and probably Roman/Mediteranean in some regions too.

Except regions in post above I mentioned, they don't score an Wendish.
