Moldovan/Romanian GEDmatch Resuts

[Jana]

We are not speaking of Balts and the Celtic Germanic percentage is practically zero among Romanians. Ignore.

Ignore Cumansky, he (like another user Bosniensis) is our local clown here.

Yes, it's here, but her ancestors were located quite far from here.
Hers could be an older Cuman/Pecheneg/Tatar signal, since all these regions East of the Carpathian Arch were heavily raided and by Cumans also settled prior to the 13th century.
This is the reason why the Principality of Moldavia was created in the first place, to prevent the raiders from reaching Hungary.

I also get 3.5% East Asian-like ancestry as she does.

You are very similar to her on Dodecad.

You mean local Pashas! Circus is you and your family

My conclusion based on all these result, the most southern individuals are from Galați, but not all from here are like that. But the most interesting thing is, if then you go northern, because in all counties who are close to Carpathins people are visible southern, and this influence go northern to Suceava county. Is different story with eastern counties (Botoșani, Iași, Vaslui) who are close to Republic, people here are visible northern, some individuals very much. These ones from Galați clearly are conected with strong Greek presence in that area, Greeks in the past were in many places in all the corners of the country, but most of them were in that region.

In Republic is totally different, here is a slow gradation from North to the South. But southern of the capital people start to have very different results because of presence of minorities of Balkan origin in that area, some people in that area are very southern. In Central and Northern areas people are visible homogenous, except some outliers.

Stronger Vlach influence in areas close to Carpathians?

North of Chisinau 30% Baltic would probably be the norm.

Stronger Vlach influence is areas close to Carpathians?

Yes, I believe this is the reason, is bassically my old theory, what people close to Carpathians are more Balkanic genetically. Interesting is that the most northern individual on the map is from Bacău, and he is very different from all his relatives who are close to that Romanian average. Second one who is very northern is from Vaslui. In Galați is cleary seen Greek influence, this is not Vlach, in the past here came many many Greeks, and they settled everywhere, not only in the south. For example exists two individuals from Botoșani on the map, who are visible souhern for their region, and will not surprise me if they have some Greek ancestry, or even Jewish.

North of Chisinau 30% Baltic would probably be the norm.

Yes, I didn't put on the map individuals of known mixed origins, or these ones who score 37% Baltic. By the way in the south is not rarity to see so high Baltic, but the component who make people more southern are East Med, West Med and West Asian, because some individuals who score only 25% Baltic, can be more northern than these ones who score 30%.

That's why I also use Dodecad. It has more basic components like North_European (peaks in the Baltics) and Atlantic_Med (peaks in the Basques, I believe).
