DNA Results (Confused) Montenegrin Father, Slavic Macedonian Mother

[Balkantragedy]

I have taken an Ancestry DNA test, and then I used the K36 Gedmatch calculator and Illustrative DNA. There are some strange numbers that are below 1 percent, and I'm wondering if they denote actual ancestry.

My Ancestry Results are as follows:

43% Greece and Albania
-Albania and North Macedonia

39% The Balkans
-Croatia

18% Eastern Europe and Russia


My K36 Calculator Results-


Armenian 3.04 Pct
Basque 1.32 Pct
Central_Euro 4.23 Pct
East_Balkan 10.22 Pct
East_Central_Euro 9.69 Pct
East_Med 13.08 Pct
Eastern_Euro 9.35 Pct
Fennoscandian 2.94 Pct
French 2.75 Pct
Iberian 6.41 Pct
Italian 16.38 Pct
North_Atlantic 4.97 Pct
North_Caucasian 5.53 Pct
North_Sea 3.88 Pct
West_Caucasian 2.65 Pct
West_Med 3.56 Pct

and finally, here are my Illustrative DNA results, which are confusing


Medieval Populations-

Balkans (AD 500–1000)38.4%

Slavic (AD 540–1270)37.0%

Italian (AD 650–1450)16.0%

Byzantine Anatolia (AD 500–1100)4.0%

North Caucasian (AD 650–1160)2.4%

Kartvelian2.0%

Swat Valley 0.2%(300 BC–AD 1350)


Modern Populations-

Southeast Europe
54.4%

East Slavic
21.2%

West Europe
13.2%

West Asia and the Caucasus
7.2%
- Georgia

South Asia
0.6%


Can someone tell me is 0.6 percent could be noise, or is it really reflective of Romani or Indian ancestry? I'm just wondering how ancestry or k36 didn't catch anything, and this is. When I limit the population settings to 4 variables only, the south indian goes away and gets clumped into west asia.

it's most likely noise. Set your settlings to East Balkans on Illustrative DNA, wondering what you would get.

Slavic (AD 540–1270)
39.4%

Balkans (AD 500–1000)

I'd only look at Eurogenes K13 and Global25 based calculators.
