My rough estimate is that the connection to your Finnish dna matches comes from Baltic. For example, my mother, whose mother was born in Karelia (nowdays Russia), shows 2.5% Baltic and 2.8% Central Asia in ethnic percentages.

I have 562 matches with Finns living in Finland who are more than 90% Finns by DNA. This is a very significant number in my opinion.

My family talks about an ancestor who fought in a Finnish war with Russia in early 1800s. He was taken prisoner and disappeared for many years. When he returned later to Finland (around the Nurmo area), he had a Russian wife with him. No information on names of these people, unfortunately. I will have to investigate.

Many are Eastern European. I have a lot of dna matches in Finland whom like many will say here are what they call a "move in". Meaning they came to Finland looking for work from other parts of rhe Eastern or Western sectors of Europe. Looking for work moves people to travel to find just that...in the end many stay due to good people around them and or the good paying job or even just love the country they came to.

Hope that helps!
Never give up researching because that is how we learn about our ancestors. 😉

Hello again,
I also wanted to add that my DNA is about 3% Baltic. Also, interesting that I am related to all the people above! Hello cousins! Greetings from Rainier Oregon!
Prayers for peace, Sheila Elin Pudas

Dear Maryna,
in the same way My Heritage told me that I am 100% Finnish, but GENI has shown I have dozens of ancestors in other countries. The explanation was that if your family has lived about 100 years in in Finland, you ARE  Finnish. Very strange. Why hide your roots?

Thank you very much for Your participation.

That's really weird indeed that it doesn't show any Finnish ethnicity, Karelian area which is now a Russian area is shown as Finnish ethnicity in myheritage, so your connection must come probably Baltic area. Many Finns have Baltics % in MyHeritage ethnicity. Have you send your MyHeritage results to FamilyFTDNA? or other sites? to see other results

On the FTDNA site I only have mtdna results, most of my matches have ancestors that came from Ireland, Scotland, England and so on.

I suppose most of your matches with Finns are pretty distant.

It has been many interactions between Finns-Baltics-Germans-Polish-Russians in the past.
It often goes through people who lived or stayed in Balticum. So if you find any Baltic ancestor among your, then some of their ancestors probably got pedigrees in Finland which you got bloodbands with.

I have some matches with people from Finland that I share 0.6% of dna with, I think it's pretty close.

I have 12 kits to admin and only one is match for you, my 2. cousine Ritva T. Interesting is that she has by known ancestors very Savonian roots (around Kuopio). But on the other hand there are 4 unknown fathers in her family tree during last 200 years.
One common MyHeritage match to you and Ritva has father's family name Hyvönen, but this Hyvönen family seems to be from Savonlinna region.
One must remember that Sankt Petersburg was quite common city to move from Finland and maybe to stay longer. Finnish and Swedish lutheran churches in St Petersburg had recorded about 30000 members in the year 1897. Many of them had roots in Eastern Finland.

Where are you?

if you have matches from western Finland from Ostrobothnia, you may be a descendant of the Ostrobothnians who were enslaved in the 1700-. There were quite a few.

If you have ancestor of foreign ethnicity from 7-8 generations back - the average percentage of dna of that ancestor is about 1%. Most likely the ethnicity tools aren't able to regognize it properly or will recognize it as falsely. It is not a question of hiding something, it just is not easily recognized.

Also that foreign ancestor most likely is already a mix of multiple ethnicities as people has always moved around - specially soldiers, but others too. Like the large movement of Karelians to Tver:

You have to remember that Finland was still part of Russia slightly more than 100 years ago. For example in St. Petersburg the Finnish parish had 24000 members in 1897. There were Russian garrisons in Finland with thousands of young Russian men. So a lot of mixing and marriages between Finns and Russian did happen at that time.

Maryna Zhubryk Suomalaisuus, karjalaisuus... Omat juureni löytyvät muutaman sukupolven jälkeen Karjalasta, Ruotsista, Baltiasta jne. Mitä varhaisempiin/aikaisempiin sukujuuriin pääsee tutkimuksen myötä huomaa joutuvansa itsekin esi isien saattamana hyvin kauas Suomesta. Omat esi isieni juuret löytyvät 1000-luvulta ja Välimeren maista. Oma tutkimukseni on vielä osin keskeneräinenkin, joten mitään varmuutta en voi kerto kirjoituksessani.

Thank you very much to everyone who participated in my discussion.

Hi, I have maternal genetics from Ostrobothnia: Vimpeli, Kaustinen, Veteli, Toholampi and Karstula. Geni and other databases have shown these people were pretty much in these locations for at least 10-12 generations. I have not done My Heritage, but did 23andme. It says I am 50 percent Finn which is true. My mom's haplogroup was H28a. I also have 0.6 percent NE Asian and not sure if this means this DNA comes out of Northern Siberia/Russia, assuming through potentially indigenous people of the Arctic vs Native peoples through my Dad's Acadian family. Anyone have any information about where the NE Asian comes into the mix? No Baltic showed up in 23andme at all. The remainder is all related to French Canadian/ Acadians, Portugal and Spain (with Basque).
