Really? They look clearly non-white.
But maybe you're right. Tamil + Kurd/Turk/Armenian + Southern Euro. Not exactly a Nordic looking mix, to say the least.

He can have foreign ancestry, or he is not even from RM. Moldavians can't be so much southern, this historically is imposible, only if these individuals have foreign ancestry, since such individuals are plenty in RM. This is another reason why in norhern areas many with such results looks like outliers.
Maybe as merchants. But I don't think these results have something to do with Aromanians.
I made a thread with people from that village from Ștefan Vodă, and they don't look like Aromanians.

At least the ones that have public data on GEDmatch look presentable.
Obviously not hwhite, but they aren't that strange. And they are also full Romas standing at 20-25% South Indian.
I will only give one example here. This person will be labelled as a full Roma in the Wallachian thread. She also has photos in traditional Gypsy folk costumes.
Most Gypsies that we see on the streets though are piss poor and/or living a nomadic lifestyle, so they look less pleasant than they could be.
Obviously those that give a damn about DNA and/or are more educated are able to take better care of themselves. Perhaps that's why they don't stand out, at least from my point of view.

Romanian-b is full Roma from Romania.
This Gypsy woman is very attractive.
Cool, she is definitely a full Tzigane. And looks way better than stereotypical Gypsies :cool:
Any guesses at her ancestry and scores?
Spoiler!
No, she was born in Ukraine and is married to a native Ukrainian speaking Ukrainian. But her maiden family name, Tsurkan, is of Moldovan/Romanian origin (original Latin version, as hers is transliterated from Cyrillic probably, is Turcan). It is very popular in R. Moldova.
I think she's a half Ukrainian mix. She looks like the female version of Nurzat, who is half Ukrainian.

I've used for Moldavian an average of some samples I find more relevant (about 10 samples both from RM and RO), outliers excluded:
Moldavian,23.542,27.288,16.546,10.864,16.132,1.706 ,0.3,0.848,1.9975,0.418,0.396,0.054,0.032
distance is not ideal (normal for mixed people but can also point to a different source we can't figure out):
Target: Tsurkanka
Distance: 4.3030% / 4.30296412
53.8 Moldavian
46.2 Belorussian
Target: Tsurkanka
Distance: 5.6200% / 5.61997732
51.2 Southwest_Russian
48.8 Moldavian
Target: Tsurkanka
Distance: 6.1322% / 6.13217471
56.4 Ukrainian_Lviv
38.8 Moldavian
4.8 Ukrainian_Belgorod
when I place Belorussian in the source it gets all the % against Ukrainian/Russian/Slovak/Lithuanian. so Belorussian (north Ukrainian?) seems best proxy for about half of her ancestry
Ladogan connection xD

since PreSlavic wasn't in the plates, I've compared to it separately, good result:

I've got another person from Central Moldova, in this village from Cimislia at the crossroads with Ialoveni and Hincesti.
https://i.imgur.com/Xtxmnuk.png
As was the case with the person from Hincesti, this person also scores 29% Baltic. Other persons already posted in the list from Central Moldova are from Ungheni - 26%, Zmey Gorynich who was a mix of Ialoveni and Telenesti at 33%, my dad at 32%. His paternal village in Orhei though is next door to Rezina and at the same latitude as Falesti, so technically he can be considered both Central and Northern.
https://i.imgur.com/Wq2IiS0.png
Speaking of Northern, there are 3 more samples and it seems that as Aspirin noticed previously, 33% is more or less the average there among unmixed Moldovans/Romanians.
The new ones are from:
Ocnita - 33%
Balti (Moldovan/Romanian maiden surname name) - 31%
Balti (offspring of the above, but dad's surname is Russian and she uses the feminine desinence "-a" after "-ov" meaning that their family's native language is most likely Russian) - 33%
This surname is also most popular among Latvian Russians than anywhere else, so on her dad's side I'm not sure of the origin, but given that she doesn't deviate much from the mom, dad might be heavily mixed locally.
I'll post the full update later in the evening.
Update v5
+21 samples
https://i.imgur.com/IqkKI9v.png
Hard to really understand what has gone on in this ountry to see such diverse results, more specifically, how some score 20-20 na/baltic when you see even Bulgarians with more na/baltic sometimes. You'd expect things to go up the morth north you are but it's not necessarily reality.
That person with surname Vrabie from Gura-Galbenei is visible northern for that area. I checked local surnames from that village and majority of them are Moldavian.

Pictures with high-school graduates from that village:
Spoiler!
Update v6
No additional samples have been added, but I sorted the table to make it easier to read
Also one with the surname Moldovan was Roma mixed, so has been moved to the mixed category.
I also forgot to add Tsurkan to Ukrainian mixed category, so that's also been changed.
https://i.imgur.com/XPmUCkg.png

Moldovan has been moved from mixed and region uncertain to the RO mixed category

Yes, but in that district exist minorities of Balkan origin.
For example this Moldo/Bulgarian mixed village is neighbouring with Gura-Galbenei. Look at the surnames.
