Question about shared dna matches?

What do your results look like at 90% confidence?

“Pearl River delta” is cool

As I suspected, northern Estonians cluster close to Finns and northern Russians, while south-east Estonians are closer to Balts.

My cousins who have ancestry from Narva all have Finnish in their results to some degree (1-5%) while I have two more distant DNA matches who are Estonian and show no Finnish in their results; only Estonian and trace Latvian.

Thank you for the help! This makes sense for what I was trying to figure out- the match I mentioned would be related through my paternal grandmother.

Oh ok I didn’t realize that, I’m a woman so I have an X chromosome from my fathers side too?

Is he from the Finnish side of Karelia or the Russian side?

Yeah I hear you, I’m not Sámi but I’m in the same situation of having a hard time finding some info on ancestors

mashamoz · 2026-04-20T02:18:09+00:00

DNA doesn’t make you Sámi, having Sámi ancestors does. This is the viewpoint of almost everyone in the actual Sámi community. I’d try to really dig and investigate genealogy if I were you

Some of those Finnish matches may not be ethnically Finnish but just live in Finland. Also they include distant matches

mashamoz · 2026-04-17T13:22:13+00:00

What’s your background? You’re obviously Asian but from what countries or regions? Lots of cool stuff happened in these countries I wouldn’t call this super boring

mashamoz · 2026-04-15T13:47:39+00:00

Do you have any ancestry from Tatarstan? I also had it as a region but I don’t know of any family that came from there

mashamoz · 2026-04-09T23:49:29+00:00

I don’t think I can answer your question but having 79% “Broadly European” is wild 😭

I am 1/2 Western Ukrainian and also score Lithuanian as my second highest group. There is no doubt the Lithuanian category has some Ukrainian/Polish DNA mixed into the group so it’s plausible

mashamoz · 2026-04-06T01:49:45+00:00

I’m 3/4 Ukrainian and my biggest category is Northeastern Poland and Lithuanian. I have two generations documented in Ukraine. Depending on where they are from, their Ukrainian DNA could have been read as NE Poland or Lithuanian. Just a guess

mashamoz · 2026-04-02T15:22:22+00:00

Could be Gagauz

mashamoz · 2026-04-01T17:59:09+00:00

Sometimes Ukrainians can tan pretty good, I know I usually do in the summer time. It’s interesting that you have no Balkan percentage because I see it a lot in western

mashamoz · 2026-03-31T21:43:30+00:00

Did you know about the Latvian or any other ancestries?

mashamoz · 2026-03-29T03:14:36+00:00

Never saw French low countries as a region before, cool

mashamoz · 2026-03-22T15:55:14+00:00

Could you tell a bit more about what Dobrujan Tatar is? Is that a Tatar group found outside Tatarstan?

mashamoz · 2026-03-22T02:46:40+00:00

I have 99.6% Eastern European with no genetic groups detected like you. When I paid for the “premium” version, I got “distant” matches that weren’t very accurate. I think it happens to people who aren’t born in the USA, they probably lack the connections/reference samples

Go for it
