On autosomal tests? I've recently heard my mother swearing my Great great Grandfather was Lithuanian after some questioning.

DNA.Land gives me 4% North Slavic and 5% Finnish (Though I've never heard anything about Finnish ancestry), MyHeritage gives me 5.5% Finnish and 3.5% Eastern European, and FTDNA (who I tested with) gives me 22% Scandinavian and nothing Eastern or Finnish.

Those calculators are all bullshit. In any case it doesn't make much of your ancestry.

Well basically situation is like this:

We have bunch of people who have this idea on paper what their ancestry is. Then they go on this odyssey of calculators to find the calculator which gives them the most similar result to what their genealogy research tells them. Finally they find a calculator which gives them the result they expected. This makes them happy. And they achieved nothing at all. You are where you left.

This is educational for me. I don't give a fuck what a calc says. I was just wondering if Northeast countries got occasionally misrepresented as Finnish because I have Finnish on almost every calc.

A lot of people on here are on an Ancestry odyssey, if you can't handle that, then what are you doing on theapricity? lol

In DNA.Land "North Slavic" includes also Lithuanians and Latvians (Balts).

And they can also score "Finnish" due to admixture with Estonians etc.

East Europe, North Slavic, or Finnish probably.
