The problem is what in your list exist two individuals with the same surname, and you don't know anything about them. And their surname is not even in top 100 or even top 200 in today Republic, but is very common in Romania. This is the reason why I don't really belive they are locals.
From Romania Moldova.

M272006 - both parents from Vaslui county, rural area.

I'm trying to think based on personal experience.
A+name+ței/sei is the most common type of surname (I mean type, random surnames are more common) in Romanian Moldova, despite it being originary from the upper half of the area. Adochiței, Atodiresei, Adomniței, Avasiliței, etc.
Popescu is somewhat common. After this one, -escu names are as common as names ending in -achi/-ichi, indicating Greek ancestry.
Munteanu is a common surname.
I'm basing this on K13/15 results, not MyHeritage/23andme.
Yeah, mine is pretty common in R. Moldova, but actually more widespread in Transylvania than Moldavia.
Either someone had a lot of sex in Hunedoara or it spread from there East. I think that it spread from there because the village of the same name is recorded there in 1330 in Magyar records, changed names to a Saxon variation in 1448, then returned to the old name in 1642 and remained as such until this day. Thank god for arcanum.hu, which has a wealth of records on this.

My grandpa says his paternal great-grandfather probably came from Ardeal. I highly doubt it since our family name is technically non-existent in Transylvania, it only exists in Moldova mostly and sometimes Wallachia. I have also checked an old marriage registry used for looking up names and it does not exist.
Of course, it's possible that he just took a family name when he settled in Vaslui.
This site is bullshit, use this one: https://www.hartanumeromanesti.eu/en/

Nice source, which I wasn't aware of, but it doesn't change much for my surname. And I think that casata is almost identical too. Yours seems very popular in both countries. Regățean cu acte :hiding:

a Eurogenes K13 updated run on Vahaduo -http://vahaduo.genetics.ovh/k13-vahaduo.htm with nothing removed from source (what's below 1% removed from result):
less mixed Romanians, like FellowGF, show high affinity to Macedonia and northern Greece, I bet it's the Vlach connection, because of Vlach migration from the Balkans prior to 14th century.
sees a strong Ukrainian half for me, that's quite precise, I'm surprised.
Fellow himself is a mystery on every calc xD

Our list is getting thick, after I've discovered the user lookup feature on GEDmatch.
Do you have any recommendations for a screen capture software that allows one to scroll?
Actually never mind, I figured it. If you can't capture scrollable screenshots in Google Sheets, then saving the sheet as HTML and opening it offline does the trick.

Cool. The full Roma one is particularly interesting, Roma aren't very numerous in the Rep of Moldova (less than 1 percent).
Yes, she is the wife of Ciobanu (1/2 Drochia, 1/2 Transnistria) and I have the results of their descendants too. I match the father and descendants on MyHeritage. They have a huge and well researched family tree, so maybe we will meet the father on genetic forums one day. :)
