My Y-DNA haplogroup

[BalkanTurk]

No, some I2a1 clades such as I2a1a which is the native Med I2 common in Sardinians and I2a1b-L161.1 which is found in NW European countries aren't Slavic although the I2a1b clades carried by modern day Slavs are Slavic

What is the case for I2 in southern Albania or Tosks in general?

Perhaps you could send them Ydna testing kits if they accept to testing. I personally just bought a Y37 kit from Ftdna to test my mothers paternal cousin as Ftdna have a sale going on right now

Ok my grandfathers sister officially moved to Petrozavodsk.

My grandmother's last name is volkova before being married. Her sister moved to mordovia. I am probably karelian/mordvin haplogroup

I2 in southern Albania or Albania in general is the slavic I2a1b-Din clade which came to the Albanians via Slavs and Aromanians/Vlachs who got assimilated by the Albanian population

Interesting. Any idea on how Ghegs remained "pure" while Tosks assimilated some peoples?

Your Russian side looks to be regularly Russian, no extra Uralic admixture.
I'm pretty sure you would be very close to Czechs and Slovaks if there were such samples in the Eurogenes database. Belorussian (pure Russian, no extra Siberian admixture) + Dutch or English is pretty much Central European.

Typical Uzbek haplogroup.

Ghegs only have around 1-3% I2 afaik and the reason why they have less is because I2 carriers in northern Albania didn't reproduce as much males as the other people whilst in south Albania they did reproduce a bit more males to carry on the haplogroup(although I2 is still not a majority haplogroup in south Albania) but just because a certain group has a haplogroup of different origin it doesn't mean they aren't "pure" in terms of autosomal dna.

Nice. I found out with an autosomal DNA test my dad is part Tosk Albanian. My Y-DNA haplogroup is I2a1b3 according to some calculator but I think the clade's name's changed. The calculator was created in 2013 so quite some years have passed since then.

Interesting, how do you know it's Tosk/Albanian admix?

DNA matches. Lots of cousins from Berat, Gjirokaster, Skrapar etc.

My 4th cousin is called "Ardit Zaimi" and he is also Bektashi like my dad's family.

After all, it's already known millions of Turks have partial Albanian ancestry so I'm not surprised.
