It's not very reliable to guess based on the family name, but Galanesti is right on the border with Ukraine and your mom scores regions from there on 23andme. Maybe that could be indicative of ancestry from further North. Were your grandpa's parents not born in Galati county?

My maternal grandfather was born in galati but his parents, i don't know. His mom name was neaga and his father name was calistru metincu.

I checked all the samples from Romania Moldova, and averages by counties, and it seems that nothing has been changed in terms of distribution of northern shifted and southern shifted counties despite the database is now much bigger than it was one year ago when first thread was started.


Is visible how most of the counties who bordering RM are more northern than these ones near Carpathians, except Suceava. Most northern counties are Suceava and Botoșani, then Iasi, then Vaslui, then Neamț who is very close to Vaslui average, then Bacău, and the most southern ones are Vrancea and Galați, Galați is close to Oltenia average (Western Wallachia).

Yeah, I had a check right now and I cannot find it. The only thing that remains is the most frequent ancestry among relatives.

A bit off topic but I wonder where Suceava and Botoșani would plot on the K15 map. North of the Moldavian dot, right? But how north are we talking about?

No idea, I don't use it personally.
I have shared K13 PCAs before though. But in Suceava and Botosani there is a lot of intra-country variation, which is not surprising considering how mixed some of them are.

Beats me, maybe Sephardic Jewish or simply nothing exotic? It was regular to score 1-3% Anatolian in the previous version of 23andme, but since the update many people from the region score it in Trace ancestry, if at all. But there are cases where these percentages still uphold.
