Welcome to rootschat

I see you also posted the same request here and no one replied to you https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=827015.

I think that the way for you to establish whether you have Romani heritage may be to do your tree before trying to establish it through DNA.

If my sums are right, that only adds up to 65%. What is the rest?

It is advisable to not take much notice of ethnic percentages - they are just a bit of fun and a very very rough guide at best.

As Rosie said, a paper trail will give you a better idea if you have any Romani heritage. Occupations, addresses and even surnames can give you clues.

If your mother is from Macedonia I’m afraid I have no idea how to begin researching family history in that part of the world, nor can I help with any Romani theories.

Others maybe able to help you though.

Do you have any documentation, certificates etc related to your mother’s family?
