possible Balkan Turkish heritage - help

[Abriekman]

To be honest, I think you are just like user Polak looking for some more "diversity" in your blood line. Just be Polish, it's a nice homogeneous white country that hasn't abandoned its identity. Sephardic, Balkan Turkic, Kenyan, Cambodian...

WTF are you talking about? I already know my Polish ancestry and I learned it a long time ago, I am learning my minor ancestry now.

I do not understand what do you mean by raw data conversion.

Are you tested with 23andme? Then you likely have the V5 chip. The number of SNPs with that type of data is much lower than it was before 2017. The more SNPs the better for Gedmatch (more accurate results).

I use AncestryDNA data for Gedmatch or Global25

Then you don't need data conversion.

And that I am mostly Polish genetically does not mean I should belong to Polish nation, I am proud of my Polish heritage, but Polish is not my first language, I was not born in Poland and my family does not have any culture. I also do not see in user Polak looking for "diversity in blood line". Minor ancestry is always more interesting, because you usually do not know much about it

What is your language and where are you from? I thought you were born in Poland with distant foreign ancestry.

my first language is Russian, ( I do not identify with Russian also, I do not have identity ) I moved from Ukraine to Poland when I was young and I should move to other country soon, but I do not identify myself with any culture, nobody of my recent ancestors have any religion, traditions or something like this

Well, that's a rather sad existence if you ask me.
I won't be spamming your threads anymore.

Interesting, how is culture and traditions related to "sad existence"

and it will be very interesting to see if your ancestors would assimilated in USSR and other people hated you just because they are not ethnicity from soviet republics

You said you have no culture, traditions and religion and I being a national conservative and (Orthodox) Christian won't lie to you saying it's fine. To me it's a bad thing. I'm not going to engage in a debate or argument with you. I have my own beliefs which are pretty strong and sometimes I let other people know about them.

By the way, I have Polish ancestry from Belarus, at least 1/8. Grandfather was of Roman Catholic background (never went to church being a communist and military officer).
