It is often assumed that the true slavs are eastern slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, etc) and that Balkan slavs are mixed with the Illyrians and other native peoples. However, Ken Nordvedt's research shows that haplogroup I2a Dinaric is very young and likely expanded from the area just north of the...

Here is more evidence. I finding matches from Ireland who have mtDNA haplogroup W3a. They also show North Indian/Pakistani admixture on Eurogenes calculators, but are fully Irish and English on 23andMe. So there is some kind of distant connection between these two regions.

So then why do Irish have so much gedrosia and not caucasus on admixture tests?

According to Dodecad V3 I'm 10.6 percent East European and 2.36 Southwest Asian.

Yes it is 2.2%.

Would you like me to do another test on GEDMatch and share the results?

23andMe does not use prehistoric admixture that I am aware of. Some whose ancestors all came from Ireland should show up as 100% British/Irish on 23andMe.

23andMe is supposed to be accurate to modern borders right? So it shouldn't show ancient slavic. If I have Eastern European Ancestry that means the last 500 years, correct?

But I don't have any known Slavic ancestors, the closest would be Bavarian.

So then where does the Eastern European come from?

I did do research and my research found that Gypsies are predominately mixed with Europeans. Some people reported that they were 70-90 percent Euro in ancestry and I though many came from Eastern Euro. Yes I know they came from India originally, but that was 1,000 or more years ago.

Don't most Europeans have ancestry from Northwest India? I believe it is called the Gedrosia component. So how could I detect this on GEDMatch?

Is it a dumb question? It's certainly possible, and I would find it fascinating to have a Roma ancestor.

I had a test done with 23andMe and my results show that I have some Eastern Euro DNA. I'm not sure where this came from because my known ancestors are from Western Europe (Ireland and Germany). Does this mean I could have had ancestors who were Gypsies?
