[K1genetics]

Hi I am new round here. Finally found a good DNA community as bloodlines and genes interest me. We got a popular song here called Geni Kameni translating to genes of stone so I'm looking more into those genes. I'm from Herzegowina and Croatian ethnically. I also live in Germany. Was sort of raised both here and there with both languages. So I'm looking forward to have some fun and get insights into our culture. I love how the forum is based on European culture. I feel like we need have a sense of unity on this continent.

I added my Results and am interested in hearing your expert opinions, or casual ones too.

I'm glad my DNA test says I'm Croatian as sometimes Bosnians and Croatians like to tease us from Herzegowina that we are catholic Bosnians.

I will also be sharing in the anthropology section. I asume I'm in the %1 largest skulls globaly, no joke, gonna measure it soon. I wonder also how much neanderthal dna I have.

OK feel free to drop a comment and have a great week you guys

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome fellow Croat!

Welcome! You have typical/average ethnic Croat DNA results. Keep in mind Bosnians are for the most part genetically same people as Croats anyhow.

Spot on.

Btw. it's crazy how you do have a repetition of the ancestral make-up in Moldova / Northern Romania for Croatians. There will go a somewhat narrow and very long strip all the way from the Northern Adriatic to the Northern Black Sea where people do have this make-up.

Yeah the oracle function in gedmatch shows that I'm really close to Moldavia almost more then Croatia. I almost wanna visit that country but their language is Romanian so I wouldn't be able to understand them. Is this specific for me or for many Croatians ?

How did you get those results in your signature ? I wanna test how much Slavic and Germanic I score, what engine do I use for that, and what do I type in.

Wünsche dir auch nen guten Start in die Woche, bist ja auch sehr Balto Slavisch wie ich.

And thanks for all the comments guys.

Moldova was an area where White Croats concentrated.
Also Moldova was filled with Scythians and Ostrogoths. So that is why quite alot of Croats get Moldova.

That is just a short answer

If you really wanna know your precise Ancestry. Get yourself a Testkit from 24 Genetics and do a Whole Genome Sequencing! Plus on top of that Ancestrum for a detailed view of your Ancestors!

150euro for the Testkit and 50euro for Ancestrum.
Or you upload your Raw data to Ancestrum and get those results with your current raw file. Which i don't recommend. Since it would be better to test yourself first by 24Genetics!

You are one of the more eastern shifted Croats, but this is normal for Herzegovinians.

People usually think I'm polnish. Russian too but especially polnish.

Now my father is brown, has dark hair and a big nose. He doesn't look Slavic but more Croatian Mediterranean. My mom is really white with brown hair. My brother is pale too but black hair. I'm pale with brown hair and blue eyes.

That being said I might get more tan in the summer if I'm in Herzegowina and go out a lot. Croatians tend to tan well. But in the winters I'm mostly very pale. As a child I had blonde hair, turned brown with time.

dobrodošao na forum!

the similarity with Moldavia is purely coincidental, due to the comparable ratio of slavic/pre-slavic genetics and a low level of celtic-germanic admixture, as demonstrated by your results.

Similarly, there are regions and individuals who plot with Hungarians or even Czechs. This is due to mediaeval migrations and colonists for the most part, rather than ancient tribes. It's only a pseudo resemblence.
