In myorigins 3.0 i score <2% druze and <1% northem levant and i am from south east romania cin the galati county.. It is a recent admixture from ottoman empire or it is more ancient, like from the byzantine?

In Romania it may be minor Jewish ancestry.

I also have 2% of askenazi jewish in ftdna. But the druze and levant i have no idea where it comes from. In ancestry dna i saw many romanians score around 2 % middle east. Same in myorigins 1.0 i saw many romanians score some percentage of west middle east.
I've scored so many different categories on commercial websites that I don't trust anything they say. If there aren't any relative matches associated with the %, I wouldn't trust it. I also score Druze/Levant/various Jew categories on FTDNA and have never matched a single full Levantine/Jewish individual on any commercial site.

Yes it is Ashkenazi ancestry, user Claudio with Ashkenazi ancestry scores that Middle Eastern categories with Ashkenazi on FTDNA too. I noticed people with distant Jewish ancestry often score Middle East, while people with full or half of this ancestry do not score or score very little of itOriginally Posted by chrisbab

23andme: 86,8% Eastern European, 9,1% Greek and Balkan, 1,2% Western Asian, 0,7% Ashkenazi Jewish, 0,3% Spanish and Portuguese, 1,4% Broadly Southern European, 0,5% Broadly European
I have never seen Romanians with Middle Eastern or Western Asian on AncestryDNA, I saw many Bulgarians and Romanians on AncestryDNA. Bulgarians score Greece category and Balkans category, while Romanians score Balkans and Eastern Europe

Yes i have found a jewish name on my great grandmother. On my heritage, i score 3.0 % askenazi jew and 5.2 middle east. On gedmatch eutest and jtest, i score between 4 to 5% middle east. Is this normal for romanians to score a bit of middle east? If you look on the genetic history of europe admixture photo. The orange line is middle east admixture. Many europeans have it.

I googled it and i saw many romanians score 2% middle east and also a bit of caucasus. There is a 23andme thread in this site named Romanian 23andme. Some score very little percentage of jewish. Others score a bit of middle east and west asia. I saw on that thread somoene score 6% of west middle east in myorigins1.0. Look at youtube bessarabianstory where he post his gedmatch, myheritage, 23andme,etc.
I saw many Romanians have Anatolian on 23andme, because they have high Turkic admix
23andme: 86,8% Eastern European, 9,1% Greek and Balkan, 1,2% Western Asian, 0,7% Ashkenazi Jewish, 0,3% Spanish and Portuguese, 1,4% Broadly Southern European, 0,5% Broadly European
First of all MyOrigins 3.0 is mediocre at best. Secondly, these % are in trace level. Thirdly, most Romanians and other balkanites have western asian influence. Hence, this result reflects MENA admixture and it’s likely not jewish.
