Here's my DNAland, the Balkan here is rather pure in this case:

Yh the Balkan there is actually pretty good but it does include Bulgarians as well as Greeks and Albanians which makes for a kinda weird combo. MyOrigins 2.0 has a good Balkan/SE European cluster

Don't worry about me. I would actually more like to know about Irish component where it comes from, if you have idea feel free to explain.

About "Balkan" component on MyHeritage - I think it actually gathers South Slavs and east Serbia Vlachs or certain Romanian dna.

"Greek" component may be rather for Montenegro and more southern dna like south Serbia, Albania, Greek etc.

I think so because I have far ancestors from eastern Serbia that may have Vlach/Romanian origin.
That is my personal opinion.

I'll post Gedmatch results when they arrive.

Basically the Irish component just shows a more north-western component which you have, it doesn't actually mean that you have Irish ancestry which is kinda misleading. The Balkan component is weird, it can reach high percentages in peoples that have nothing to do with the Balkans like Poland whilst in some cases even Balkanites can get 0%, it's like the Greek component but with an eastern shift of some sort. The Greek is more of an actual Balkan component without the whole east Euro input which the "Balkan" component has. Use DNA land https://dna.land/

The Greek component of MyHeritage seems to peak among mainland Greeks and Albanians.

I had reuploaded to Myheritage but still got the Nigerian. :confused:

My mom gets a bit of it too.

Is this site garbage? I uploaded my 23andMe data to it and it seems very inaccurate (it appears to have over estimated my Scandinavian percentage, didn't account for any Irish/Scottish, added some random Ashkenazi which doesn't appear on any other site I've used, and threw in a bunch more Native American than I've seen elsewhere)

Obviously. Stears get 63 % Balkan while I get zero.

I get proper Eastern European + minor Greek instead.

I think so, my father gets 0 Balkan, my moms grandmother is from Montenegro, and she gets 35 percent. I get 16. My father and another Dibran I saw get little to no Balkan on myheritage.
