My FTDNA Autosomal is finished but still waiting for raw data download link.

I'll upload to Myheritage as well... they accept FTDNA transfer right?

They accept all data , I believe. I wouldnt trust their results much though.

These seem to be quite typical results from what I have seen on myheritage.

Other typical results are where they score pred Greek with some Balkan. Or mostly just Greek.

They also seem to score some minor west african, middle east/west asian, jewish, a lot of north west europe and iberian. So do other Balkanites.

Ive seen Catholic Malsors , which are the most isolated Albanians, score quite high North West Euro, some African and Middle East and Amerindian. Some of these make no sense. And they scored 80+ Balkan... which seems to peak in Yugoslavs and Albanians according to maps but even Polaks, Slovenes etc get high of this.



Its not just Albanians, but various other European ethnicities get this.

Overall this DNA test seems to be less accurate compared to all other various tests Ive seen where the results are more similar to eachother.

Even ancestrydna mostly gives just Italy/Greece , east europe and minor Caucasus/West Asian. All , Italians, Greeks, Albanians etc get that.

They are new and I think it needs updating. They have updated their matches list and you get now more relatives

Most Albanians come out 50/50 Balkan/Greek on MyHeritage. That one with 90 Balkan is highest I have seen. I am 76 Greek 16 Balkan, 8 Italian. My Father is 98 Greek 2 Italian. No Balkan surprisingly. Haven't uploaded my mothers yet. We are from Diber Vogel. Mother is from Puka.

Any word on why Albs from Montenegro plot Norther, and I think score more East Euro than other Alb subgroups? You can even tell in the face/phenotype of us Malesors that our ancestors def mixed with some slav chick some time ago.

I am not sure. I can definitely see your point though. I think intermarriage with Montenegrin Clans is the case. For instance, my mother looks like her father, who in turn looks like his mother, whom was 50/50 Albanian and Slavic Montenegrin. My moms clan is from Puka with origins in the south. They have been in Puka long enough for the genetic impact. She typically comes up with a big chunk of South Slavic like admixture. I think this is the case. Her mothers side were also from Shkoder not too far from the Montenegrin border.

I saw one example with 98% Balkan and minor Nigerian lol which I saw various people get funny enough, seems quite typical to get some Nigerian, another 90+ Greek.

That Nigerian surely cant be real also some middle east and some got like 30% North west europe,

Results as yours are typical too but youre right the average could be around there, more or less. I didnt bother uploading, editing my own results out, screenshotting much, but needless to say, we get a wide range of results from these things

Yea. I don't think its necessarily inaccurate. What I think is the case is due to socio-political factors as well as many other factors throughout history, each region will differ. Depending on the genetic impact one group has on an area that another region may not have. This could be why Montenegrin Albanians look the tallest of all. Perhaps from mixing with Montenegrin Slavic clans. But there are even Albanians from Montenegro I have seen who shift more towards Albanians of Macedonia, and Albanians from Hoti who come out like Bulgarians/Romanians moreso than Albanian. Its a genetic clusterfuck lol.

You are right. Their results are unstable. If someone upload his/her same data again, he/she will get different scores.
