With the clear results for the Mezocsat locals, that all those which have increased ANF and a stronger Thracian pull do indeed have IBD sharing with confirmed Iron Age Thracians, I think its necessary to differentiate a bit. First, Mezocsat was quite obviously a hybrid culture. The main...

If anyone still has doubts, about this female I2509 from Bulgaria being from the Salcuta/BSK sphere, here is her IBD matching map plot: She has ZERO, absolutely ZERO matching with Bulgaria prior to the Iron Age and the only match with Bulgarian samples she got is with the Iron Age Thracian...

FTDNA confirmed the position of I40543 upstream of E-V13, at E-CTS1975. We'll see whether he ends up in the known Varna branch E-BY28614 or not. If he would form yet another branch of E-CTS1975, that would be big news, because we now have multiple lines of evidence for the closest connection of...

I think we should be more careful here though, because the real borderline is not that of the modern state of Bulgaria, but the Balkan/Haemus mountains. This separated the Northern groups from the Southern ones and the Danubian zone of Bulgaria was nearly always closer connected to...

That Greeks play no significant role though can be shown if going for more genealogically relevant segments larger than 8 cM again and creating a network map for the core Thracian samples available in the old data base: It is kind of amazing that Greek being completely bypassed in this mode...

The old South Thracian samples are still in the top rank ANF-region and some had, on top of that, more Anatolian-related admixture than others. We can also check that with other confirmed Thracian samples we have, like this female: https://www.exploreyourdna.com/sample/bulgaria/I5769 She...

I looked into this sample series, but left it behind when I saw that most E's being non-E-V13. We don't really know where the sample sites were and this single lineage R-Z37 dominance is very peculiar, that's all I have to say atm. The population which migrated into Italy seems to have had...

THis is a decisively Carpatho-Balkan/Balkan series, unlike some others which are more Northern/Western/Eastern etc. and I'm not saying they are Illyrian at all, but they are at an intersection of Daco-Thracian and Illyrian. And take the sample from above, which looks to be older and more core...

The branches appear much too young and one younger E-V13 branch is pretty dominant in the sample. Probably Celtic-Dacian-Sarmatian, rather? Of this huge data sete, the Thraco-Illyrian/Albanian-related sets and especially this one are the most interesting: I41060.TW I41062.TW E-BY6039 = TMRCA...

Nevgen predicts him as E1b1b V13>>Z5017>> Z16988 so he likely descends from ancient Dacians/Belegis II-Gáva/Basarabi people at some point back in time. https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/E-Z16988/tree https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Z16988/ has Russian, Ukranian and Turkish testers.

Since you guys are the experts, are there any Daco-Thracian toponyms in the area of Transcarpathia, Subcarpathia and Moldova? Other than the names for the mountains Carpathians and Beskids themselves. I know from Austria that the Slavic replacement erased many placenames, nearly everywhere. Way...

Does your father have any fully Ashkenazi matches? I saw minor Jewish (< 1 %) in many Poles, but always wondered about the exact origin and direction of the gene flow. 23andMe does limit the number of matches though, so its possible that many fully Jewish matches were simply cut off. But I guess...

I don't think he is the same person, because the YFull tester did use Nebula and his last known ancestor is from Saxony. So unless your miller is also from Saxony and did an additional Nebula test, he is another person I guess. That people do first BigY and then upload a Nebula test at YFull is...

Looking at the Medieval Polish samples, they had more R1a and E1b and less R1b, I1 and N. I think this largely equals more German and Baltic admixture in moderns, pretty much - if the numbers are representative.

I made a map for Gornea-Orlești-Foeni - just a rough sketch, for its main distribution and successor cultures, groups with strong influence from it. The first thing to note is that the Gornea-Orlești successor cultures in the more developed Bronze Age overlap near 100 % with the earlier...

Italians need to be divided especially into North Western vs. Southern Italians. The Southern Italians have more South Thracian branches (like E-BY5022), whereas in North Western Italians, especially around Genua, there is a lot of North Thracian E-FGC11451. However, the vast majority of both...

In the case of J2 it always depends on the exact branch in question. Some branches are Mycenaean Greek and Minoan, others are Anatolian, Caucasian and again others (mainly J-L283) are Illyrian or Pannonian in origin. J2 is just too broad and old to be put into just one bucket.

E-V13 being relatively big because it expanded with Proto-Thracians and later Daco-Thracian groups. You can see that some E-L618 branches are old Mycenaean Greek and might have been present in Proto-Greeks already. Look at the proven presence of E-L618 in the wider Aegean-Greek world, it is a...

https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/E-FT64983/tree is a South Thracian lineage - and quite typically, South Thracian branches have more often ancient DNA samples from Dalmatia, while North Thracian samples are common in the Carpathian basin record. The Outer Maniot big Greek founder...

With Gornea-Foeni in the focus, here would be a new working hypothesis model genealogy: What makes Gornea-Foeni so central is that it was the last group which kind of united-influenced all Proto-Thracian/E-V13 candidate groups the last time before they broke up and many of which had very...
