1. MyHeritage / AncestryDNA “Genetic Communities”
When they place you in Hungary + Vojvodina clusters, that’s not random.
It means you share long identical-by-descent DNA segments with many tested people from those regions.
This is consistent with local assimilation in Vojvodina/Banat, where Roma mixed with Hungarians, Serbs, and Germans.
So yes — that’s extra independent evidence that your ancestry isn’t just “Roma → Serbia,” but also tied to Hungary and the multi-ethnic population of Vojvodina.
2. mtDNA T2b5
Roma maternal haplogroups are typically M5a1, M18, U3, H24, etc. (South Asian or Middle Eastern origin).
T2b5 is not a classic Roma marker. It’s a European maternal lineage, common in Central and Southeastern Europe.
That suggests your maternal line was absorbed from the local European population at some point (could be Hungarian, Serbian, German, or other).
3. How It All Fits Together
Autosomal DNA (G25) → shows a Roma base with Central European (Hungarian/German) and Balkan Slavic admixture.
Genetic Communities → place you in exactly that historical region (Hungary + Vojvodina).
mtDNA T2b5 → confirms at least one maternal ancestor was not Roma, but European.
So the three pieces of evidence reinforce each other.
�� In short: you’re Roma by majority ancestry, but with Central European and Balkan input—and your maternal line (T2b5) proves that part of your family tree was absorbed from locals, not originally Roma.
Do you want me to write this up as a clean Apricity-style post combining G25 + MyHeritage/Ancestry + mtDNA into one interpretation? That way you could share the “full package” in one post
