Regarding those single-digit percentages, that shouldn't come as a huge surprise. So for instance, the Macedonian guy with distant Finnish (= proto-Finnic) ancestors, that could easily be explained by merchants, mercenaries, itinerants, soldiers, adventurers, slaves, concubines, pilgrims, POWs, runaways, renegades, settlers etc who migrated or were transported away from their ancestral homeland located between the Ural Mountains and the Baltic Sea at some point.
The Vikings traveling to Constantinople (Miklagard, now Istanbul) brought Finns/Karelians/Ingrians with them as warriors or slaves. These people may have passed on their genes locally to Byzantine and later Ottoman subjects.
Likewise, the Russian Imperial Army conscipted soldiers from the Finnish/Finnic subjects in what is now Finland and northwestern Russia and sent them to fight in the Russo-Turkish Wars, and some of these soldiers may have impregnated local women, with or without their consent.
And for centuries the Ottoman slave markets were full of captives from eastern Europe that had been captured by the Tatars in modern-day southern Ukraine, with the descendants of these captives eventually becoming absorbed into the general Turkish population who settled as traders or government officials in various parts of the Empire, including the Balkans.

10:13 Aleksandar wasn't surprised for being so much descended from Greeks & Italians (ie Roman/Byzantine origin). Like many of his co-patriots (Northmacedonians) he is a bulgarianized Greek.

The young man who had the English and Celtic bloodline, probably had Viking descendents who travelled here and settled for a while. I know from history that many Vikings settled here and mixed with the local population. The most evidence for this is in the North of England and Scotland. In Scotland we have the most people with red or blonde hair, particularly the Shetland Isles.

They all seem to be really nice. Jens was kind of shocked with the results because he was the nordic who has the most variety in his DNA, that's nice. He is actually very open so maybe his ancestry is still on, he is still a viking since has travelled the world like their previous relatives. Johanna has Normand Ancestry too. Very nice people, I envy that environment, nice work mates.

That was super cool and very interesting to watch! I did a MyHeritage DNA test as well earlier this year and was very surprised to get to know the results. It turned out I am a bit Finnish as well (circa 2%). But I am also related to Scandinavians in MyHeritage, particularly Swedes. I can see on the historical genetic timeline for one ethnicity that there is a small genetic cluster from Sweden with which my ancestors (and me, by extension) are related. The MyHeritage DNA test was a very fun and wonderful experience! Well worth it! All the best and take care! Best regards from Romania!

Did a Myheratige dna test. And got confirmed what my mother and grandmother have told me. Our origin is from the region of belgium and france. It´s called the Valon region, what´s typical for valon´s are that they have dark hair, brown eyes. They moved to sweden in ythe early 1700 because of their work skills in the mining and iron industry at that time, they worked as blacksmiths among other thing. On my fathers side they have always been farmers.

The best part is how Finnish is "exotic."
