Maybe you suffer from something i call "grandma from Bosnia syndrome" among Kosovars. Out of cca 600 matches i contacted from there, more than 50% said they had grandma, or great grandma, or great great grandma from "Bosnia", when i asked them, where from Bosnia in 90% of cases it was actually Sandzak or Montenegro, very few with real Bosnian female ancestors :eek:

That’s very unlikely for me. I think it’s just one of those cases where you can have an atypical haplogroup because from an autosomal pov it’s just not possible. I did expect higher Slavic ancestry before I did genetic testing and once my results came back I was even more confused than before :p

From what I understand, U4 is primarily Balto-Slavic.

My paternal side traces back to this village: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novak,_Prizren
Not sure of my exact maternal side.

One Serbian ethnologist in the first half 20th century wrote that Novak is Serbian village with only one Albanian Catholic family which arrived from Mirdita in Albania 15 years earlier. He recorded all families by surnames.
Novak is Serbian toponym. We have both name and surname Novak. Root is word 'nov' which means 'new.'

I am a identity whore to such a degree that I decided to become trans-Haplogroupual. I idendify as having another haplogroup and if 23andMe shows the old haplogroup I will fucking sue them.

You just made that up right now. It’s actually one of 8 Albanian Catholic villages in the Prizren region. It’s not “one” family.
