In the Albanian community in general there was tradition where a widow's child was being taken by a family member to be raised by the paternal
Relative and the widow would return to her home village

Sounds a bit bizarre and cruel to break up a family but I had some relatives who had this happened to

It was

There's been a lot of interesting conjecture through the history of this thready over the possible ethnic origins of this UID - Spanish-looking, Jewish, E.European, Latin American. Maybe a closer look at the manual ruleout list from Namus (acknowleding there will be automatic DNA r/o that don't appear) maybe that would indicate LE's thinking on heritage or ethnicity?

Hmmm so although names don't tell us much, it would seem LE are not leaning towards any particular ethnicity (for example I don't see many traditionally Hispanic names on the R/o list).

The people in that community can either be too tribalistic and insular or just completely out of contact with eachother.

I personally still am not in contact with my cousins.I still have plenty of cousins that I am not aware of

Don't let those Albanian nationalist events and trolls deceive you.many Albanians in my are unaware and not in contact with eachother.

It's those Montenegrin Albanians in NY who are in charge of many If not most Albanian cultural events.they have more so the resources to organize those events,live well off and are probably deluded in their Albanian nationalist jargon.more so than Albanians from Albania

Many Albanians from Albania like myself have chronic Albania fatigue and are doing as much to isolate and leave behind that culture

My two cents

It they have her DNA in the database then I guess she could have plenty of matches in terms of relatives since gheg highlanders(that's the existing English anthropological term used to identify us)have a pattern of not just endogamy but many people are related to each other twice even thrice.many cousins distant and close have a connect the dots entangled web of familial connections.even the priest at our lady of shkodra in Yonkers has told the parishioners to*please stop marrying close relatives as the children are coming out sick*

so yeah she would have many DNA matches.that is just my educated guess

105 pounds at 5 feet wow

Many Albanians in Albania are malnourished.not only that it's a culture that encourages women to loose weight.fat shaming is prevalent still.they would constantly tell someone things like *go to the gym.no one will marry you if you are fat*.the only excuse they have for a woman to be a bit fat is if she has given birth a few times

Ummm....so, before I knew that Gina Gallo's skull had been found, (NAMUS-put that on her page, dang it!), I went looking for her pic on Ancestry Yearbooks. I don't know about you but, man, she sure looks like this doe:

 

[FemmeFatale]

The resemblance to Glenda K Fields is uncanny in my opinion. Submitted the tip since she wasn't on the exclusions list yet. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they have her (twin?) brothers DNA used for comparisons but not her own.
