I bet the exact same data was used for all E-genes runs. And if they are the basis for the Moldovan reference, obviously the results will be severely skewed.

All Romanians have DNA like Bosniensis.
Entire Romania has similar DNA to me...
But you don’t look Romanian and are not related to Romanians . It’s not gedmatch components that count but IBD sharing among peopleQuote:

no, they almost never pass as Italians. but it's also the clothing style maybe that makes Romanians so obviously non-Western. you rarely get the chance to guess a Romanian by the face because you usually instantly already guess him by the clothes/style xDQuote:
