Moldovan/Romanian GEDmatch Resuts

How is Milković a Serb, you spoke with him? I wrote before Milković is common Lika Croat surname and I have a collague with same surname.
Same applies to Došen and Zubović ( to add,I don't know any Zubović irl but it's really common name among Croats)

It's a normal surname among Serbs, exists even in people from Kosovo:

Normal surname among Croats as well, my friend with same surname is from fully Croat place in Lika.
Which brings me to question: how is it possible we have so many same surnames (like Došen) , but we have nothing to do with each other?

I wanted to mail some of samples I found on gedmatch to find out their exact anestry for my Croatian database but I am afraid some of those I think are Croats may be Serbs so that's why I didn't mail them yet.
Point is not once I had difficulty to guess who is who based on surnames and gedmatch results alone and I know you are too.

the Serbian in Eurogenes k13 and k15 was probably just one person's result, and not an average. global 25 also has only 5 Serbs who aren't very representative.

what do you get in 23andme and my heritage?

Look in my signature, the "Autosomal DNA" link.

Of course.

Except Milković, also exist Miljković, Malković and Maljković.

John Malkovich possible have Serbian paternal origin from Lika, it was written about that on Poreklo.

No he isn't, he is half Croat from Ozalj but I am not suprised, your experts will find Serb origin in just about everyone. Sick.

I wonder about Serb samples used in academic papers, not speaking about gedmatch, those are really very different from Croats and even Bosniaks and much more Balkan.

this is them:


it's a good average, if this was in k13 i would get Serbian first instead of Moldavian like i do now.

and these are the academic Bosniaks from Sarajevo, pretty similar, just more Baltic.:
Bosnian,24.83,31.82,15.17,8.94,14.02,1.63,1.59,0.5 7,0.58,0.37,0.34,0.01,0.08

Both should be added to gedmatch than.

It's the people with origins from the shotakvian-speaking areas like Herzegovina that have common surnames. My great grandmother's maiden surname was Sertić, it's an old Croatian surname and easily recognisable as non-Serbian.

Bosnia too. Marković is very common among both. And many others.
