But you are Tatarka, no?

I see you as beautiful Tatarka that mix with Vlachs

There is no pure Vlach, but when it comes to pure you are one of the closest

Are you East Asian/Urals shift for a Romanian, no?

maybe for the average but not for the region

I have a trace of Saxon ancestry from the former Hungarian occupied parts of Romania, but is not the main admixture to my knowledge

Ok I see

I'm surprised Cluj isn't one of your regions, it was my highest.

[Cumansky]

Is that Saxon stronghold region?

[Coastal Elite]

Is that Saxon stronghold region?

I believe a lot of Germans and Hungarians traditionally lived there but you can say the same for other areas of Transylvania like Sibiu, Brasov and north of the Olt River.

We all get little bit different with some small overlaps

You have a nice mix of regions. You think those counties in Transylvania regions are accurate for you?

Nothing that I know about it. Maybe is something more than 300-400 years.

[Coastal Elite]

Probably suggests Romanians, from north to south and east to west, have a lot of genetic similarity. Seems like the more northeastern Romanians are the most genetically unique.

Yeah, that kinds stuff is hard to confirm. I'm just mad I didn't get Bucharest, that would make me feel more Romanian.

Are they? I don't even know in what sense are they unique? I get Iasi in the darker color

I always figured the Romanians near the Moldovan or Ukraine border had more Slavic influence. My Slavic input is kinda weak on Gedmatch calculators

[Cumansky]

Double

[Cumansky]

In the east more Steppe tribes assimilated, I don't think just Slavs, I thought it was more Turkic influence in eastern Romania than other parts. Isn't Iasi named for Jasz tribe stronghold, or no? Also Moldova was originally in northeast Romania, no?

I think they overlap a lot with typical Romanians just a bit more Slavic influence. Not too sure about the Turkic but looks nice on women IMO.

Known as The Cultural Capital of Romania, Iași is a symbol in Romanian history. The historian Nicolae Iorga said "There should be no Romanian who does not know of it".[10] Still referred to as The Moldavian Capital, Iași is the main economic and business centre of the Moldavian region of Romania.[11] In December 2018, Iași was officially declared Historical capital of Romania.[12]

Iași (UK: /ˈjæʃi/ YASH-ee, US: /ˈjɑːʃ(i)/ YAHSH(-ee), Romanian: [ˈjaʃʲ] (listen)), also referred to as Jassy or Iassy[8][9] (UK: /ˈjæsi/ YASS-ee, US: /ˈjɑːsi/ YAH-see), is the second largest city in Romania,[7] and the seat of Iași County. Located in the historical region of Moldavia, Iași has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Romanian social, cultural, academic and artistic life. The city was the capital of the Principality of Moldavia from 1564 to 1859, then of the United Principalitiesfrom 1859 to 1862, and the capital of Romania from 1916 to 1918.

Scholars have different theories on the origin of the name "Iași".[17] Some argue that the name originates with the Sarmatian tribe Iazyges (of Iranian origin), one mentioned by Ovid as Latin: "Ipse vides onerata ferox ut ducata Iasyx/ Per media Histri plaustra bubulcus aquas" and "Iazyges et Colchi Metereaque turba Getaque/ Danubii mediis vix prohibentur aquis".[18]

Another historian wrote that the Iasians lived among the Cumans and that they left the Caucasus after the first Mongolian campaign in the West, settling temporarily near the Prut. He asserts that the ethnic name of Jasz which is given to Iasians by Hungarians has been erroneously identified with the Jazyges; also he shows that the word jasz is a Slavic loan word.[25] The Hungarian name of the city (Jászvásár) literally means "Jassic Market";

A now lost inscription on a Romanmilestone[19] found near Osijek, Croatia by Matija Petar Katančić in the 18th century, mentions the existence of a Jassiorum municipium,[20] or Municipium Dacorum-Iassiorum from other sources.[21]

Other explanations show that the name originated from the Iranian Alanic tribe of Jassi, having same origin with Yazyges tribes Jassic people. The Prut river was known as Alanus fluvius and the city as Forum Philistinorum.[22][23][24] From this population derived the plural of town name, "Iașii".

The name of the city is first found in a document from 1408. This is a grant of certain commercial privileges by the Moldavian Prince Alexander to the Polish merchants of Lvov. However, as buildings older than 1408 still exist, e.g. the Armenian Church believed to be originally built in 1395, it is certain that the city existed before its first surviving written mention.

Around 1564, Prince Alexandru Lăpușneanumoved the Moldavian capital from Suceava to Iași. Between 1561 and 1563, a school and a Lutheran church were founded by the Greekadventurer Prince, Ioan Iacob Heraclid.

Iași also figures prominently in Jewish history, with the first documented presence of Sephardi Jews from the late 16th century. The oldest tomb inscription in the local cemetery probably dates to 1610.[28] By the mid-19th century, owing to widespread Russian Jewishand Galician Jewish immigration into Moldavia, the city was at least one-third Jewish.

The city was burned down by the Tatars in 1513, by the Ottomans in 1538, and by Imperial Russian troops in 1686. In 1734, it was hit by the plague.

It was through the Peace of Iași that the sixth Russo-Turkish War was brought to a close in 1792. A Greek revolutionary manoeuvre and occupation under Alexander Ypsilanti(Αλέξανδρος Υψηλάντης) and the Filiki Eteria(Φιλική Εταιρία) (1821, at the beginning of the Greek War of Independence) led to the storming of the city by the Turks in 1822. In 1844 a severe fire affected much of the city.

According to the 2002 census, in Iași there were 109,357 housing units and 320,888 people living within the city proper. Of this population, 98.5% were ethnic Romanians, while 0.59% were ethnic Romani, 0.13% Jews, 0.13% Greeks, 0.13% Lipovans, 0.08% Hungarians, 0.05% Germans and 0.39% others.[54] In terms of religion, 92.5% of the population were Christian Orthodox, 4.9% Roman Catholic, other religious groups 2.6%. There are currently almost 10,000 Roman Catholics living in Iași.[55] There is a debate between historians as to whether the Catholics are originally of Romanian or Hungarian descent.[56]

DuringWorld War I, Iași was the capital of a much reduced Romania for two years, following theCentral Powers' occupation of Bucharest on 6 December 1916. The capital was returned to Bucharest after the defeat ofImperial Germanyand its allies in November 1918. In November–December 1918 Iași hosted theJassy Conference.

Home to the oldest Romanian university and to the first engineering school, Iași is one of the most important education and research centres of the country, and accommodates over 60,000 students in 5 public universities.

I posted for Iasi ^ post your main regions history from Wikipedia

This thread needs life

[WeirdLookingFellow]

Moldova + Sezekly lamd, some Wallachia regions, this region thing, especially when you get a place with lots of ppl from everywhere like Iasi, means little. What stops 23andme from finding good matches with some very Baltic Moldovans from Re. Of Moldova that settled in Iasi?

Why you didn't get Iasi? Are you from near there? Lol

I have other main regions across Romania nigga

[WeirdLookingFellow]

I haven't done 23andme I was just arguing that I would not take these regions very seriously.

[Cumansky]

I take it serious, just not the %, the regions. 23andme is the most comprehensive test we have on the market right now. It was also created by person from Eastern Galicia, that makes it an excellent source for DNA testing for me because I am also from, Eastern Galicia, right

Also it took 3 years for me to get assigned any regions, for about 3 years I didn't have any regions because they were working on the accuracy, and it will be improved again forsure

[Coastal Elite]

Well, I was very impressed that 23andMe was even able to single out my Romanian ancestry since pretty much no other calculator did that. As far as 23andMe regions, I take them with a grain of salt, but I do think they do give a good rough estimate. They might be off on some counties but they seem to successfully capture my Transylvanian ancestry. My family was from Brasov and that came in as my second highest county so they seem to be in the ballpark. Also, they will get more accurate with time in IMO.

[Seya]

i'm curious if any moldovian gets Iasi. That's the only one region i don't have in Moldova, my mom too.

[Coastal Elite]

A question for any Romanian who took 23andMe. Did you also think they did a fairly good job with your regions? Like I said, I don't think it was perfect but in the ballpark.

[Cumansky]

i'm curious if any moldovian gets Iasi. That's the only one region i don't have in Moldova, my mom too.

I get also Mures and Bihor as my main regions, I expected that based on my paper trail going back to the middle age. And I get Csongrad in Hungary, it all makes sense for me. My surname came from Bulgarian Empire and Csongrad was Old Bulgarian Empire
