My mom's results on Family Tree DNA (transfer from MyHeritage)

Even for my mom... I wonder what is it mistaking it with?

Thats slavic portion of your autosomal DNA, nothing strange. Look at FTDNA myorigins as any other G25 calculator.

Shouldn't it be under Balkan, as the slavic component is likely Southern Slavic?

In my case, they seem alright, except for the West Slavic part - I find it weird as a Bulgarian. 29 % is too much, isn't it ?

No, it is not. Even, I have 34% Western Slavic on FTDNA. I believe, you and your mother would probably have scored higher Western Slavic (or some other elements such as Baltic etc...) if you took a FTDNA test kit. Yet, I don't think, their algorithm is good. Ancestry seems better.

I think their Balkan is more preslavic, since Greeks and Albanians i have as matches usually score close to 100% Balkan.

Congrats! A lot people throw share to FTDNA for what ever reason but their DNA estimates were MUCH closer than what AncestryDNA gave me.

So it's not a bad company after all.

I've taken Ancestry, too. Will compare when my results come out.
