Hi all. I'm new to the forum. Been lurking for ages.
A little about me. I am Albanian from Dibra Vogel in the valley of Martanesh. My fathers side originally comes from Mirdita.
My mothers side is from Puka in the Malsi region though her mother is from Kosovo where her H11a comes from.
According to the paternal ancestry, I am R1a1a. I am curious as to what link this represents to Balkan migrations. Is it a Thracian haplogroup or Slavic one? Or is it common in both?
my mothers family originally descend from the Cham Gjon Bua Shpata, during the time before the Ottoman incursions.
The DNA composition stated 93% of DNA was reflective of Balkan people's with a predominant Greek, than Albanian, than Romanian composition based on relative populations. 3.5 percent broadly Southern European, .5 percent Japanese. 1% Italian and 1% Eastern European.
interestingly, those of genetic relation to me on the predominant Greek side of both my mother and father had surnames almost exactly the same as that of my paternal grandmother, and my grandfathers mother.
My grandmothers maiden name was Stafa and the Greek relative had the surname Stafas.
My grandfathers mother on my mothers side had the surname Pitsari. The common relative had the last name Pitsaris. Perhaps coincidence but considering relation maybe not.
I know H11a is broad and represented amongst the Basques and Swedes, and curious how it reached the Balkans.
Similarly as I understand it did R1a1a migrate from the Black Sea? Perhaps one of the haplogroups carried by the Thracians.
My father would say Gjergj Fishta claimed our ancestors migrated from the Black Sea in antiquity, though I cannot confirm that as I cannot find this information.
Just curious as as to information on this subject matter as I am rather new to all of it.
Peace.
