    The Greek results should not be a surprise for any peson from the east Balkans. I mean there were thousands of Bulgarian, Albanian, Vlach etc. people who were assimilated into the Greek newly formed nation in 18th and 19th century.

      The Greek nation has existed for thousands of years as such. Don't jump to conclusions by believing propaganda. I am half from Eastern Romilia. A region of today's southern Bulgaria, but we had a Greek national consciousness and in no way Bulgarian. Consider that all the Balkan countries, in which various nations exist today, were the site of the Eastern Roman Empire where Greek culture and Roman law dominated for 1000 years. So probably the various nations that sprung up were the ones who invented some nationality which is debatable!!

    Greeks and south Italians can be rather light coloured too. Blue and Green eyes are fairly common in Greece, blonde hair (even though mostly the darkish tones of it, not the Scandinavian type) too -and there even are some natural redheads around... Greeks and south Italians are practically the same thing genetically (that is why we are always grouped together), but note that Romanians and Greeks also have many commonalities, a lot of shared history in the region and even shared identity to some extent -in the past that is (because during the Ottoman emprire poeple mostly identifiyed with their religion and Church -and Greeks and Romanians had a common one). Many Greeks immigrated and settled in Romania, for centuries -or just made their living there. Also many Greeks are of part or full Aromanian ancestry and Aromanians an Romanians are probably related people

    There is simple explanation for your Greek-South Italy heritage, you have somebody who is Cincar or as they call them self Armânji, in your family tree. Just google Aromanians and you will find where your ancestors may come to Romania, during the turbulent time of Ottoman occupation, because they have mostly been expelled from their homeland on Balkan, that is dominantly in now day South Albania. They were eastern orthodox people who spoked proto Aromanian language, and they were ethnically cleansed from side of Muslim Albanians and Turks, and they seek safety all over Balkan, among other orthodox Christians. They are mostly assimilated and incorporated among the nations they find their new home, only in Northen Macedonia, they still have some awareness of their origin. In Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania, they forgot, and mostly now are mixed with others.

      It goes even further in time, as some of my earlier ancestors seem to have been Ilyrians, and Romans, though My true Ancestry website indicates more Ilyrian than Roman ancestors. Ilyrians used to live in the area of Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.
      Thanks for all the info that you shared, I know that nowadays there are still some people that speak aromanian in Albania, which sounds similar to Romanian althought I remember having heard it a long time ago but it seemed to be difficult to understand as a whole for me, as a Romanian.

    There is nothing strange about Italian Greek DNA, very many from Rumania have this combination. That is the result of the history. First the Roman Empire and assimilation and then the Ottoman Empire, when many Greeks moved in, especially in the south part of the country, Vallachia. It is written in the scriptures from 1599 when Mihai Viteazu waged war against the Turks, that the Greeks opposed it because they gained higher status and wealth. Afterwards the Fanariot period started when the Greeks ruled in Vallachia and Moldova.

    South Italian and greek is very common for balkan people to show up.
    Ethnicities do not stop in country borders and rarely nobody is homogenous.
    I dont know really much about the heritage of romanian peoples, but i think most of the romanians are more like southern slavic (balkan) and greek is actually very similar to this and thats why it can show up as it completely.
    just like german showing up as english or scandinavian often, or baltic as eastern european.
    it just depends how similar the groups are and the algorythm just takes what is *most similar*
    I already expected that you have probably one of the 3 regions that are common for romanians.
    balkan, southern italian and greece or eastern european in general.
    Btw there is a big difference between southern and north italians in ethnicity.

    • @uncommonly_me
      @uncommonly_me  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I would not be able to tell which one is exactly our ethnicity, however I was quite in the dark about it previous to this "journey". Obviously greeks and romans fought in the balkan area, romans mixed with the dacians living in the area, then many other came, some won wars some didn't, and that is definitely part of my heritage. Some other websites do indeed localize my closest ancestors in the ilyrian area (mostly balkan), but still show I have some other ethnicities or share dna with others more towards the west of Europe.

On a note of logic, the two peoples cannot be different 'in every way', if their languages are related, because they are therefore similar linguistically.

    You sound like you haven't really understood what DNA analysis means. Loving Italian people has nothing to do with it.
