100% Croatian Islander 23andme (nearly identical results to mine!)

[Jana]

American-Croatian with all 4 grandparents from small Island of Unije, in north Adriatic region.

Her results:


Her Eastern European and Balkan percentage are almost identical to mine!

I score 46.8% Eastern European, she scores 46%.
I score 38.1% Balkan, she scores 39.7%

Could this show genetic similarity of North Adriatic and Dalmatian Croatian Islanders? Both are chakavian speaking.
However, her Island is speaking middle chakavian dialect, while islands I am from are speaking southeastern chakavian.
Here is a dialectical map:


Btw, I found her while searching trough Stears DNA relative list

If those guys get around 40% Balkans, my should go up to 70-80%.

Coastal Dalmatians are darkest group of southern Croats from my experience, and least Slavic-admixed.
