Russian Gedmatch Results

[Leto]

I said locally mixed, because those results look suspiciously close to someone who is half Romanian/Moldovan and half Ukrainian, perhaps with some Roma mixed in too.
My mom who is a halfie scores similarly, with slightly elevated Med and lower Baltic, because her Romanian/Moldovan side is from the Southern-most district in the country.

Yes, regionally mixed. They are essentially Transnistrian, that breakaway republic is basically 1/3 Moldovan and 2/3 Russian-Ukrainian with bits of other influences.

What are your thoughts on the Baltic average in Moldova? Is it possible to score less than 30% being a Moldovan?

Between 25 and 30 is the average. From the results what I saw till now, the lowest Baltic score have the WeirdLookingFellow, but he is from Romania Moldova.

I score less than 30%, so yeah, I believe it is.

I don't have any kits from R. Moldova, but Moldovans from Romania usually mirror the situation on the other side of the river and the average there is 29.8%. 4 of these samples are from Northern Moldova/Bukovina (Suceava and Botosani) with 2 from Central (Vaslui and Neamt), so theoretically the average should be lower with Southern samples taken into consideration too.
The average of Moldovan from the K13 spreadsheet on Eurogenes seems to be 33%, but the creator of the calculator confirmed for me that those samples are mixed with Ukrainians and Russians.

Spoiler!

Do you have the results of your father too?

[Ion Basescul]

Do you have the results of your father too?

Yes, he scores over the average, but their data is based on the current generation of tests, which have a lower resolution, so it's not as accurate as mine or Nurzat's, as ours is based on a lot more SNPs. You should read this thread, where I addressed this issue.

There is no way those are your results. I remember clearly yours and your parents', all three kits were over 30% Baltic. What the freak?

You probably rounded it up in your head . Do you remember them from this thread?

My bad. I think some of your Baltic was sucked into the North Atlantic because your parents are both well over 30%.

[Ion Basescul]

Yes, but the other way around, they should have more Atlantic, as my autosomal data uses twice the amount of SNPs. If I were to take a MyHeritage test too, then I'd probably score in between them, so perhaps about 34% Baltic. But there's no point in doing that, as 23andme's v4 had a better SNP coverage, so it's closer to truth. I've tested my sibling with MyHeritage last week, so I expect that this is exactly what he's going to get on K13. I haven't sent the sample back though, because of the virus situation, but we should have the results in about one month, if everything goes fine.

Do you recomand 23andme or Myheritage to make a test?
