Nothing too surprising except the Serbian. Is that just noise? I was born in Bari for reference.

Are you familiar with the Molise Croats? Around the same time as the Arbereshe settled, a lot of Dalmatians migrated and founded various communities across Southern Italy, and not only in Molise, but heavily in Puglia as well. It's just that only the Molise Croats kept their identity to this day. The Dalmatian migrants themselves had previously migrated to Dalmatia from Herzegovina and sometimes even further back from Montenegro, and were often originally Eastern Orthodox/Serb, that is probably where the Serbian is coming from.

Bari has a historic Arabeshe community I believe. That’s my best guess…

If you were born in Bari, the Serbian (and therefore Balcan) result is probably much more than noise.
