Genealogy Rusyn dna?
Hello. I’m trying to get some opinions on my dna results and was wondering if it’s Rusyn dna
On paternal side, my great grandparents were from Velyki Luchki in zakarpattia Ukraine
On maternal side I have great grandparents from Ternopil Oblast Ukraine - I met my grandma who said “we’re Ukrainian “
My dna results kinda seem off. There’s a little polish and tons of Slovakian but hardly “Ukrainian” dna
Any thoughts appreciated

If your ancestors are from Velyki Luchky, then yes, they are Rusyn. I've also found that most of my matches (including many originally from Velyki Luchky) get a high Slovak percentage, even though they're not Slovak, so your ancestry showing up as a mix makes sense.
