Moldovan/Romanian GEDmatch Resuts

Will do a bit later, but why are those with "Nou" usually ethnic villages? Were they part of the same village and then segregated from the rest, with the main part taking the "veche" title?

Because these villages were founded recently, and are not connected with the main villages. Here exist and other villages with similar background like Obreja Nouă, Pînzărenii Noi, Ciolacul Nou, Gara Catranîc. All these villages are tiny compared to original ones.

Are you sure this person is from Albinețul Nou, and not Albinețul Vechi?

So after tinkering with the settings for a while, I've stopped on this PCA format, which I will use for all of my current and new samples moving forward.

Here's how it works:

• Up = Increase in: Baltic, North Atlantic
• Right = Increase in: South Asian, Siberian, East Asian, Amerindian
• Down-Right = Increase in: West Asian, Red Sea
• Left + Down-Left = Increase in: East Med, West Med

Dot Colours:

• Red = Unmixed Romanians/Moldovans from Romania's Moldavia
• Blue = Unmixed Romanians/Moldovans from R. Moldova
• Green = Unmixed Ethnic Minorities from either country
• Black = People of mixed heritage from either country
• Gold = Ivano-Frankivsk (Highlander) Ukrainians

Border Colours:

• Red = Unmixed Romanians/Moldovans from Romania's Moldavia
• Blue = Unmixed Romanians/Moldovans from R. Moldova
• Green = All people from R. Moldova
• Black = All people from Romania's Moldavia
• Gold = Ivano-Frankivs Ukrainians and a mixed Ukrainian/Romanian from Chernivtsi

Label codes correspond to abbreviations for district/county:

• Romania
• R. Moldova 1 and 2

Spoiler!

Samples surrounded by a white circle are my family, 12=dad, CH_1/2Ukr=mom, 49=brother, 48=me, 17=ZmeyGorynych

Zoom in as much as you like, the quality should be great.
