Post your Romania 23andme Regions

[Abriekman]

gagauz people are genetically in the same range with bulgarians and romanians. if not for the language, you cannot tell them apart. there are no gagauz today in dobruja or if there is any it's like looking for a needle in the haystack. there are indeed crimean tatars, nogais (95% of them in northern dobruja (romania), turks, aromanians and lipovans mainly

I don't care about modern population of this region, my ancestors were moved from there in 1768 and mixed for 150 years with people from one village in other country. I know Gagauz are mostly Balkanic, you did not say something new to me

You seem to look at his results from the prism of the algorithm of the previous iteration of 23andme. 90% was a lot previously where the Balkan component seemed to look Albanian to Bulgarian-like, but in this version it seems that people further North score it heartily too. They must have adjusted it to make it more relevant for people from Croatia - Serbia - Romania - Moldova. Afterall, we are also counted as part of the Balkan reference on 23andme.

Alex actually scores 30% North Atlantic and 20% Baltic on K13, so he is significantly Northwest shifted for a Romanian.

N_Atlantic	Baltic	West_Med	West_Asian	East_Med	Red_Sea	South_Asian	East_Asian	Siberian	Amerindian	Oceanian	NE_African	Sub-Saharan
30.11	20.59	20.39	10.51	13.94	2.83	0.03	0	1.49	0.03	0.08	0	0

Can you send a pic of the Romanian pca map with the names of the regions?

Updated. This update seems more accurate since my family is from the Brasov-Fagaras region

Map vs the grandparents birth places of my 42 Romanian matches on 23andMe. Fairly similar. Brasov, Cluj, Mures, and Alba were the most common locations for the grandparent's birth location.

I noticed that a number of people with Romanian or Balkan ancestry were getting "Peloponnese, Greece" as a sub-region on 23andMe. I've read a few places that it might be a sampling error since a disproportionate number of "Balkan" samples are from Greek Americans.
