    Slovenes are Catholic, Estonians are Protestant.

    Latvia has stronger connection to us than Estonia.

    Latvia is mixed Protestant-Catholic.

    Are you sure about culture ? Both Slovenes and Poles are Catholics, while Estonians and Latvians are Lutheran.
    for genetics I'm not sure it probably depend on region. But for historical ties Latvia and Estonia for sure.

    No, I wasn't sure. I just assumed that Latvia/Estonia would be culturally closer as well since they have more historical ties with Poland.

    Actually out of 3 Latvia probably has most ties with Poland. But Slovenia perhaps has more than Estonia (not familiar with Baltic region history that much though, I think they were ruled by Swedes mostly).
    Part of Poland belonged to Habsburg Monarchy just like Slovenia did. Yet no Polish minority in Slovenia, in Baltic states they are.

    Southern Latvia is Catholic due to Polish rules there in the past.

    Racially I think it's Latvia and Estonia due to Baltids/Neo-Danubians but in pigmentation more like Slovenes - generic Central European- Poles bit lighter but not much. Just my guess though.
    Slovenes are mostly Alpine and Noric. Estonians and Latvians are uniformly blond I think.

    No, I am from Ukraine, but AncestryDNA and Davidski with his global 25 somehow rendered me more Polish than Ukrainian.

    In haplogroups Poland resemble more Slovenia (R1a followed by R1b) than Latvia/Estonia (R1a, N1c).
