They just had their annual update today

Looks better for me in terms of more Balkan, but worse in terms of Baltic appearing. Germanic being there is still wrong.

They are including places like Brasov (my grandparents area) and Sibiu in their "Southern Romanian" region so I guess it's technically right but weird include southern Transylvania as southern Romania

Greece & Albania too..I glanced at some of my matches for whom I knew the old results and for many the Balkan part turned into less Balkan but now Greece & Albania appeared for the first time.

Nothing weird about that. Part of Brasov, the Fagaras region, was traditionally held by Wallachia.

But more recently, many people in Brasov trace their roots to Prahova county from Wallachia.

The AncestryDNA boundaries for Southern Romania extend north of the Fagaras region and seem to even include T-Saxon areas north of the Olt, but yeah, I do get the historic connection, esp with Fagaras.

A notable change is that they are less stingy making you score in France percentage than previously. I've noticed on several of my DNA matches that their percentage of France have significantly risen. Below are my previous results.

Well how can you know this? You don't have your family tree researched many centuries back.

It is totally probable that you have some Germanic admixture dating back to the Middle Ages.

But Ancestry doesn't go so far back. They stop at about 1820. But it is true that I haven't researched so far back.

Their timeline runs up to 1800s and in general that's pretty standard in the Industry. 23andme also said that they focused on the last 200 years from what I remember.

No, only the genetic communities are 500-1000 years ago (big dots) or 50-300 years ago (small dots).

Admixture breakdown as a rule goes even further back than the genetic communities / recent ancestry.

23andMe was always saying that they report >500 years ago, because they are a New World company and report ancestry before 1492 CE.

Only the regional results on 23andMe are thought to represent more recent (than 500 years) ancestry.

^^^ Just read what they say in my results, which I posted above. Nothing about 200 years:

"Your Ethnicity Estimate may include two sorts of results,

Results with a [big dot] indicate distant origins (500-1,000 years ago).
Results with a [small dot] indicate more recent origins (50-300 years ago)."

https://i.imgur.com/cace11E.png
BTW:

I think for Europeans it makes the most sense to report ancestry from around 750 years ago.

For Spain and Poland definitely choosing year 1250 AD makes the most sense, in my opinion.

I have the impression that they can report ancestry from even further in the past. Since the Bretons, for example, score moslty as Scots/Irish, like if their ancestry was reported from like 1600-2000 years ago, before their emigration from Great Britain and their settlement in the region.

[SouthDutch7991]

I don't know enough about my pre-1700 colonial family to say if the exact percentage of the different British groups is right, but it looks pretty close. The German is as expected.

Germanic Europe seems to extend far in the Balkans, if almost everybody from Balkans gets at least some "German".

Baltics seems to be a pretty vague category, if there are even Brits and Greeks getting it.

Nonsense. Germanic Europe is a genetic group which has absolutely nothing to do with the Balkans and peaks in southern Germans. Baltic is well defined group as well which includes actual Balts and Baltic admixed Slavs near by.

Judging by results from this thread, almost everybody from Balkans gets "Germanic Europe". Coincidence? I don't think so. Maybe it has Austrians in reference panel?

Regarding Baltics, I see not only Slavs, but also Germans ans Scandinavians getting small amounts of it.

[Jana]

Who is "almost everybody from Balkans"? And no, most Balkan people don't get it at all. West Austrians can get 100% Germanic Europe because they are south German like genetically, and not because they have any relations with Balkans.


Regarding Baltics, I see not only Slavs, but also Germans ans Scandinavians getting small amounts of it.

So? It's Balto-Slavic like ancestry, there is nothing weird about that. If Greek gets Baltic that's obviously from Slavs. Use some common sense.

You, for example. Your "Germanic Europe" is documented?

Have you seen the White paper? Baltic has a precision of 0.49 which is very low compared to other ethnicities.

[Jana]

These are not my results but of Stears who is not from Balkans as he is Hungarian. Other result is of my friend who is half Slovenian and half Croat with 1/8 Czech ancestry, so no wonder they will score some German.

I did not. But if for example Swede scores some Baltic than can easily be explained by Finnish like input as Finns have Baltic like admixture themself.

They didn't sample anyone from Moldova, so that's not surprising, but still you could have received Bulgarian because historically Chisinau had a strong Bulgarian presence. That means that your Moldovan part does not have a Bulgarian influence.

[Dušan]

Hi, could FTDNA raw data be uploaded into AncestryDNA and is it free?

Makes sense, I have nothing Bulgarian which I can even see by numbers of matches, for example, on MH 36 from Romania, 33 from Hungary and only 7 from Bulgaria.

I get New Zealand, but was already aware of Whalers going over there. The first Europeans to go there. I'm guessing that means you share cousins with the source of that group and why we can also get countries abroad.
