MyHeritage Random Ethnics

Maybe, but they have a strange algorithm regardless. Every Balkan Slav scores somewhat similar results on ancestry and 23andme, with some variations in the amount of Balkan and East Europe. No other company gives that much "foreign" dna.


Maybe if it's ancient, but it's too large considering the big companies only go back a few centuries in the compositions.

Alot of these ethnic groups they created have genetic overlapping components

Um, they didn't

Yes we did, part of lineage of Finns originated in Steppe read about it

Every component is named by place where it peaks. It doesn't mean you must have any recent Irish origin, it means you just share part of the same component with them from ancient times.

I think the calculator is possibly confusing distant Germanic or Bell Beaker influence with Irish, Scottish, Welsh since the British Isles also has a strong Bell Beaker input. Germanic influence is much more likely than British Isles in Romania.

Another interesting Jewish match. He has specified his ancestral places until 1850, yet I match him with 13.6‎ cM and 5.888 SNPs.

. Germanic influence is much more likely than British Isles in Romania.

Why do you think that? I think Celtic influence (that is shown as Irish in result) is related with R1b and G haplogroups.

There were Celts in Romania but they were a bit different than the Celts of Ireland and British Isles. The ones in Romania were Hallstatt Celts from central Europe. Celtic was more a of language and culture than a race of people anyway so there are people of somewhat different backgrounds that were called Celts. Despite their differences, all Celts probably share a common Bell Beaker background.
