Moldovan/Romanian GEDmatch Resuts

[Leto]

They are outdated by now, as I gave you only my family, the Centre-North samples from Balti and South samples from Stefan Voda.
But I'm not using K12b, so I won't calculate the others anytime soon.

Those averages are from 46 unmixed samples and now I have 87, so you are 41 samples behind.

I don't care much about sample size as long as they appear representative. I personally use a lot of averages based on 5-10 samples only.

Looks like I am one of the few people who use K12b. But that doesn't matter to me because I use it largely for Eastern Europeans and West/Central Asians and for many of them my updated oracles work just fine.

They have, just like East Slavs, Gagauz, Jews, Gypsies and even Germans, but this person doesn't seem to have anything Bulgarian in their family tree. Seems to be a typical profile for the Southern regions (although the surname is kind of rare for the South, but the 5th most popular in Edinet), even in people without Bulgarian or Gagauz admixture.
To be fair, Capaclia doesn't mean anything in Romanian, so who knows what kind of settlement it started as. Capaclia is surrounded by mostly 99% Romanian/Moldovan villages, but there is one exception at 3km from it. It's called Visniovca and 16% of the population is Gagauz and Bulgarian.

This line still make sense.

Yes, but you need another one in the North. For example Cantemir is more Moldovan than your native district, according to both the 2004 and 2014 censuses.

This line still make sense.

Is that line supposed to show the Bulgarian/Gagauz admix? If so then it actually goes a bit further North, all the way to Tighina/Bender.

Cantemir district have a visible Bulgarian minority, you already posted a Bulgarian from here who was very Southern with only 17% Baltic. Bay the way, after I saw the name of the village of that Bulgarian I remembered what I have a friend with origins from that village, he is Moldavian, and his surname (not Bulgarian) is from that area, despite he live in Cahul district now. The most interesting part is when he start to tell about his ancestry.

I actually have a person with that surname, but they are from Targoviste in Dambovita. Autosomally would fit in Cantemir though.

About Căușeni and Ștefan Vodă I don't believe they are very southern, need more samples from that area.

He have very mixed ancestry, he claim to have Ukrainian, Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian (interesting he name Romanian as separate ethnicity, and he claim what this ancestry is from Romanian territory) and Turkish. For a moment I didn't understand what he means by the Turkish, when he explained what this mean Gagauz. Seems what some Moldavians in the South name Gagauz Turks, despite them to be only turkified Bulgarians, judging by their genetics.
