MyHeritage new region update has been released, post your new results here.

[Leto]

The percentages haven't changed, they just added possible countries of orign and some other useless stuff. Nothing interesting.

[Dušan]

The first group is actually Krajina Serbs and the second is Herzegovina/Montenegro Serbs. You can see it if you zoom in.

Yes, both Krajina and Herzegovina Serbs settled in large number in northern Serbia (Vojvodina), as MH also suggests.

Fuck, I checked all available groups, and they don't have a country-level one for Moldova, let alone regions. There are three groups that say Moldova in the name:
1) Western Ukraine, Moldova and Northeastern Romania for Ukrainian ethnics in Moldova, Ukraine and NE Romania: "Ukrainians in Western Ukraine and some in Moldova and Northeastern Romania, and some of their descendants in Central Canada and in Northeastern and in Midwestern United States"
2) another one for Romani/Gypsies in Moldova, Romania, Croatia and Hungary.
3) Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Moldova: "Balkans in Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and some in Moldova", which seems to be the more Southern version of the "Romania" group.

People with Moldovan/Romanian ancestry seem to be thrown in the "Romania" category, which extends into Moldova and even Ukraine.

I think I am going to write to them to request at least a country-level group for Moldova to be added in the future, because I have seen at least 100 kits, so there is demand from people tested here.

Also, who in their right mind thought that having a group "Polish people in Southern Italy" would be a good idea?

My kit




---------------------------------------------------------------
With the uploaded from 23andme kit, I get a East Slavic to West Slavic group and France)




---------------------------------------------------------------
Brother (he gets the group for Ukrainians from Moldova and a region in Germany)





---------------------------------------------------------------
Dad (he gets the same Romania and then my East/West Slavic group from 23andme's upload and brother's Ukrainians from Moldova, Ukraine and Romania)



---------------------------------------------------------------
Mom (Romania and then the East Slavic to West Slavic group at lower confidence)



---------------------------------------------------------------
The "Romania" category by the way extends into Moldova and covers parts of Ukraine too. Romanians would have been a better word probably.



---------------------------------------------------------------

At high confidence by the way, only the "Romania" category remains for brother and mom, while dad and I don't have any.

Yes, the update today seems to include only Genetic Groups and updated interface. If they only assign Romania as a country and not specific subregions/counties, then it is kind of weak. 23andme went deeper.

It looks like they took people from their database with family trees, and sorted them into clusters of intermixed people which all match each other, and assign you to these clusters.

they disregared ethnic and country borders, just clustered the samples by IBD, and then tried to describe the clusters which formed.

they probably don't have enough people from Romania for a more detailed division.

With “elevated accuracy”

45,4% Eastern European
27,3% Balkanic
22,5% Greek and Southern italian
3,2% Ashkenazi Jewish

1,6% West Asia

Genetic group: Romania, Uk, Netherlands and Germany (they say due to the jewish heritage)

This is hilarious On Myheritage I score 1.2% Ashkenazi, you score 3.2%. On 23andme I score 3.8% Ashkenazi (it stays at 90% confidence) and you score 1.4%. LOL

It seems like that's what happened, which is why Moldova didn't receive any groups, because there are probably fewer testers here than elsewhere in the region. There are only some kits from Moldova included in the "Romania" category. And then there are some who formed the "Ukrainians from Moldova, Ukraine, Northeastern Romania" group and the other one for "Romani/Gypsies from Moldova, Romania, Hungary". The group with Ukrainians could actually be tested by them directly, since I doubt they would have guessed that they are Ukrainians otherwise. They had to at least confirm it with them and not just guess from family trees and ethnicity estimates.

What do you pretend, they are commercial tests.. one day you are greek and the other you are syrian. Don’t pay to much attention, they are made it for americans who want to know more about their european background. If you are european, just ask your parents and they will tell you which ethnicity are

[Benyzero]

52% East Eu
21% Scandinavian (lol at this)
17%balkanic
6%west asian
2%iberian


Anyway it quessed my main groups well. Hungary,Slovakia, Czechia, Austria.

Genetically I'm almost identical to Serbs yet on Myheritage and 23andme too my only region is Romania (literally the only), when in fact I have ancestry from Hungary too.

did you see this? Many of the samples from Budapest are Serb-like and similar to you, some are even Montenegrin-like.

it looks like such results are just a normal part of the Hungarian range.
