My recent K36 report.

[Slavic Italian]

I think this one was very well done. I have strong ties to Scotland and Belarus and they are represented in the calculations.

Very cool....:bounce

I don't see Belarus there, did you mean Latvia?

You are basically French (Savoie + Aosta) with some Balto-Slavic and some Germanic, according to this report.

Aosta is in Italy but historically it was a French-speaking region.

Edit:

OK, you are talking about Belarus_East showing up in Admix4.

Well if you show in a report a hundred of plausible combinations - like LM does - then everyone will find something they like to pick.

But Belarus is not the best match for your Eastern ancestry if it did not show in other algorithms, only in Admix4.

Latvia North-East and Belarus-East are both mixes of Baltic & Slavic ancestry, as is Poland Suwalki and Podlaskie.

IIRC you mentioned that you have a recent Polish ancestor who fought in Italy during WW2 (battle of Monte Cassino etc.). So Poland Suwalki would be the most accurate match for your Eastern ancestry. But that could be a Pole from Wilno as well (a reference absent in this test), or even a Pole from Daugavpils:

I have matches in Belarus. You do know I also have Russian cousins in Kazan, Sarov, and Moscow. As for the Polish/Italy scenario you asked me about that and I told you I could not confirm it. This is the first report K36 did not look like crap since the first one I did a few years ago. Also, being mixed Admix4 is the most logical model for me. Even Davidski said that was pushing it for me. Some Germanic? There is a lot of Germanic there from all over Europe. Are you ok?

Also, being mixed Admix4 is the most logical model for me.

Admix4 gives simplified models for you because it can only model you as a mix of 4 things 25% each. And you are more mixed than that.

Admix4 gives simplified models for you because it can only model you as a mix of 4 things 25% each. And you are more mixed than that.

Therefore, it is the closest estimation provided in that specific report. The others provide even less calculations.

This is possible. A relative posted a photo of an ancestor who was in the Polish Army during the war. I will try to post it here. This is my closest match on Family Tree Y DNA.
