Greek and South Italian are simply centralizations in the naming scheme, it also refers to people of Dacian and Tharacian descent, which of course, refers to pre-Roman Romanians who later took on Latin.

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

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.

nice vid I got mine coming back 3 days EST I've done two two different companies to make sure there right. Happy Birthday.

Congratulations you did the dna test🎉 I did mine with My Heritage and had 2.9% Balkan, my older brother was 3.0 Balkan.

Hi Lorena great results

I'm Swedish, and my DNA result was 78,8 % Scandinavian and 13,9 % Finnish and 7,3 % Baltic.

I've just started watching and I had to pause the video and say.... My first reaction when I saw your packaged up testing kit was "Oh look, a hot water bottle !" ;-)

thank you that was useful

It was a lovely surprise and great you had 3 distinct areas to focus on. Some peoples DNAs are very complicated and very intersting but hard work to research further. Being adopted I am so tempted to find out but also have concerns regarding that I might discover I am an 👽 ha ha. I am so happy for you and other commentors on here that have discovered their genetic selves 🧬💛👩🏻‍🦰

Hi ! Do you have ancestors from Wallachia (region near Bucarest) ? Because you have the typical Wallachian DNA with a lot of Balkan and a lot of Greek (South Italy was inhabited by Greeks for thousands of years) DNA. Nice results.

Hola!! Yo soy española y también me quedé muy sorprendida con el porcentaje de Finlandia que me salió 😂 Yo esperaba algo de Italia, pero no! Ahora se va a hacer el test mi padre aprovechando el Black Friday jaja (A mi madre sí le salió Italia, Grecia y Cerdeña) 😊 😘

Just curious, how many relatives were you able to add to your tree as a result of the DNA test?

Wow you have one of the greatest hairlines i have ever seen.Im jealous :D

Well, You're very beautiful, whatever you are. Thanks for sharing

THERE ARE MANY GREEKS IN SOUTHERN ITALY

rumania es la antigua tracia romana, una provincia muy importante en el imperio romano.posiblemente el adn de la gente de rumania este muy relacionado con el de italia.

My partner is roumanian and he has ... an almost identical result to yours wtith Greek and south Italian ... and Finnish !.

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.

If I didn't know, i would guess you're Greek! Cool!

Why you are 42% Italian/Greek ? What is now Romania was once part of the Roman province of Dacia. It was conquered during the reign of Trajan in 106 CE and remained under roman rule for around 170 years. As you might know, romans didn't waged war just because, once conquered the population was assimilated and romans also established them in the conquered lands.

Grazie sei bravissima.sul loro albero hanno 3 icone del disegno del dna ma su quello dei genitori e scritto privato anche quando apre la loro pagina.mentre su quello della figlia non e scritto privato e in effetti i suo risultati io li ho visto.mentre i suoi no perche e scritto privato.

Un resultado de lo mas normal, si eres Rumana no es nada raro que alguna parte de tu ADN (en este caso mas del 40% ) sea mediterráneo; Rumanía fue imperio romano.

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.

Greek, Italian and Romanian are not surprising. You actually aren't that pale. You should see some Scandinavians. You actually are a beautiful tan that I would expect in an Italian and, especially, Greek. I was just in Athens, and I saw many people that look like a cousin to you.

Daca esti din Dobrogea este clar .Acolo au venit grecii si s-au stabilit in orase si se ocupau de negot cu dacii iar mai apoi au trecut si vikingii tot prin marea neagra de se duceau in imperiul Bizantin la Constantinopol . Are sens.

What’s the big deal? I saw a doco,where Romanians said that they sincerely believed that Dacian and Roman greatly contributed to their genome/genotype.Then add Hungarian,Wallachian,Bulgar,German and more,and you’ve covered the genome of Romanian citizens.(nb:citizens)

Ciao sono kevin .io ho um match che corr ha me e questa e una bambina ho visto i suoi risultati.poi nel suo albero ho visto che i.suoi genitori hanno l icona del disegno del dna vuol dire che anche i suoi genitori hanno fatto il test ma e scritto privato.cosa vuol dire che sua figlia si vedono i suoi risultati e i genitori no perche.

Search from the history...

Hazara people one of minorities of Afghanistan has over 50% of Balkans as well!

Well if you felt like you had Far East the Finnish may be why they share ancestry with the Asiatic originating Sami people...Bjork is said to share this ancestry and I can see a little of those features in you...also It's not surprising you can communicate with Italians, Romanian is part of the Romance language and did get conquered and incorporated in to the Roman Empire and bears it's name to this day...Balkan Greeks and Southern Italians have strong ancestral ties going back to the Day's of Homer...Southern Italy was called Magna Graecia being one of the earliest colonies of Greece...Ancient Romania would of been inhabited by Thracians another people Greeks shared DNA with...they were a mixture of the original inhabitants of Greece who they viewed as more Agrarian and civilized with the Doric barbarians from the north whom they considered the Thracians to be related or descended from.

The Finnish in you is probably just Magyar. Ancestry from Siberia comes up as Finnish in many tests including in Native Americans

The viking's from modern day Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland raided all the way to Moscow so I suspect that your Finnish genes came from these Viking adventures.

Aren't you from Bulgaria?

People say Myheritage is unaccurate. I dunno, but personally my results shocked me a little. I've heard i have a walloon ancestor. But it didin't show any of it. But did show i have 13% finnish DNA which I've never heard about from my relatives. If you find the outcomes odd, Try with ancestry, people say ancestry and 23andme are the best.

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.

karakachan... vlahs....

Ciao lorena sono kevin io e mia madre con test myherirage abbiamo greco e italia del sud perche siamo della puglia e io ho medio orientale e mia madre asia occidentale.ma abbiamo tutti e due molte corrispondenze dai paesi del est europa e sopratutto dalla tua romania e poi albania ecc.forse e dovuto alle migrazioni che sono avvenutti nei secoli scorsi.enon ce da meravigliarsi dei risultati.ciao

You mentioned you were born in Romania Italian DNA for that area is not surprising, you have to understand the history the Romans settled Romaina mixing with the Salvic trides of that area hence your results before that time Greek's settled parts of southern Italy . Finish would be ancient DNA some of the ancient tribes stayed in that area and later migrated to Finland

yea you look balkan,exactly what i imagine balkaner look like

We are descent of east Roman empire .....do you know the 16 roman empiror was born in Serbia....amoung them the greate Constantin...and emperor Trajan....👍

Normal qu'elle aient des ADN grece et italy en tant que roumaine , puisque cette région a été grec RUM durant des milliers d'années . De plus l'ADN grec/italie du sud est l'époque des Byzantin grec , avec la grande grèce . Il y a encore des régions parlant le grec en italie , les pouilles , la calabre , la sicile et les abruzes étaient toutes grecs . Voilà pourquoi , il y a une différence en l'ADN grec/italien = Grec et l'ADN , italie du nord = Italie

You sound like you haven't really understood what DNA analysis means. Loving Italian people has nothing to do with it. Greeks and Southern Italians share genetic material for historical reasons and because of the people's movements. That's it. Southern Italians are genetically different than the Northern Italians for the same reason.

Don't believe everything you see here in the comments. Many here are just hobby experts who think they know everything

I'm sure that your East Euroasian in you is not 2.4% but maybe higher 4-5% taking into predict you are Romanian. To not be confused, Finnish here is just a represent of someones Siberian or East Asian heritage. I doubt that your result is correct for reason MH has low databases and not enough referent samples.

You live next door to Hungary. They are closely related to the Finns. So, that's where that is from. And as dar as I know Romanians have a shared history with Thraceans and Macedonians from the time of Alexander the Great, even thracean words in the language. You live at the crossroads of history. Where is the surprise?

When i saw you i told she is Greek. Hello from Greece

Btw you can pass like Native American

Greek and roman makes the roman empire.....

hi

8:10

South Italy means you have autosomal genes whith roots in Magna Graecia also greek and arnauts genes,there are many albanians there,for Balkan is to say its a big mixed cauldron of genes,unprecise.Make par example the DNA of your Dad also whith the haplo Dna youll see then whats about whith your origins.The autosomal test is not so accurate tru leak of data etc.Look at your Family Name and aproximise your romanian birthprovince?The finns autosoms(hungarian,latvian,leton etc)means you have far north ancestors hundreds of years ago.

Romania The roman Empire. The Byzantine Empire. 2% is not relevant , too small to matter. So many Greeks settled in southern Italy at an early date that it was called 'Magna Graecia'.

Are you actually surprised that you understand Italian? Romanians are a Latin culture.

Get your mom to take the test to c who the italiano came from

You are from old roman empire

This shows areas you come from Not racial composition

Children and women from Finland were taken (Russians mainly took them) as slaves to the Mediterranean area, Asia etc. during Medieval era. There is one explanation for you.

Bad dna company. 23andme is much better

typical Hellenic DNA
