Is any Finno-Ugric Indicated Here?

The selection of Kargopol Russian and Estonian together is interesting. I recently began speaking with a fully Russian relative on 23andme with most or all known ancestry from Pskov, near Estonia. I wonder if many Russians from near there migrated down to eastern Poland or Belarus...

Remember the Russian government moved Russians into areas like Poland and Belarus to Russify those territories so very possible.

There was never a sizeable Russian community in Poland. Belarus is a different story, it's a young country and identity to begin with.
What are the Russian's results? How much Eastern European? Any Finnish?

Right, i didn’t figure the borders of modern Poland contained very many.

My Russian relative shows up as 99.99% east euro, no Finnish assigned him. His paternal haplogroup is the very Slavic R-z93

Also, keep in mind this guy and my mother are like five generations removed.

I see. Z93 is the Asian/Aryan branch, I believe.

Oh yes, but isn’t it’s very well represented among East Slavs as well, isn’t it?

Anyway, cool to know I may have Russian ancestry. My family would say there was some Russian in there, but I just chalked that up to our Eastern European side being from Belarus, which was under the Empire.

23andme is quite simplistic now. People often get 99-100%.

No, we're Z282 in most cases.

Russia is 38% L260.

I’ll have to ask him about all of the regions in Russia 23 “assigns” him. I did notice it mentioned Krasnodar Krai in the preview, for him.

For my mother, 23 assigns her Lipetsk, Bashkortostan, chelbynsk, and Orenburg. These western Siberian places could just be relatives who were placed eastwardly in more recent decades. My Eastern Europeans migrated to Wisconsin from the Russian empire around 1910. Curious to pinpoint where in Russia my Russians were from.
