Hello
I have a (mostly) documented family tree going back to Southwestern Germany in the state of Baden-Württemberg. My oldest direct paternal ancestor was born there in 1621.
No Irish, English, Scottish, or Iberian input on my paternal line from 1621 until now.
I have the confirmed R1b>L-21>RZ253 YDNA haplogroup. My closest matches are indeed all Irish. No close German matches whatsoever.
What gives? Does this make sense? What kind of prevalence does L-21 have among Germans? Did L-21 originate in the British Isles or on the continent? Is RZ253 an Irish sub-clade?
