    An Brazilian L-M349

    The route SNPTracker proposed for my branch. Dunno if it is accurate.

    An Brazilian L-M349

    After researching the regions from where some of my matches came from, I´m tempted to think that my ancestors arrived in Northwestern Iberia with the Romans, maybe coming from Anatolia, the Balkans or somewhere in Italy. There are some Roman samples under L-M349 in Iberia that clearly show...

    Y-DNA of Iberians or descendants of recent Iberians

    Recently confirmed that my line indeed goes back to Central Portugal, specifically to the village of Avelar, in Leiria. I do think, however, that they settled there coming from Northern Portugal as the samples of my branch on FTDNA seem to be focused there and also on Galicia (it was an empty...

    Genetic study Disparate demographic impacts of the Roman Colonization and the Migration Period in the Iberian Peninsula.

    Interesting study. I wonder if this Roman L-M349 has any relation to the sample of Las Gobas.

    Y-DNA of Iberians or descendants of recent Iberians

    There is an space for the information about most distant ancestors, but this is optional (like FTDNA). So you'd probably need to contact the owners of the samples. Your take on your line looks very plausible. My own ancestors probably followed a similar route, as the Iberians on Y109374 seem to...

    Y-DNA of Iberians or descendants of recent Iberians

    As Duarte explained, you would have to pay both FTDNA for the .BAM file and the fee from yfull to have your sample included in the tree. So, in my opinion, it really depends on how much you can spend, as the entire process can be (somewhat) expensive. An Big Y is already a good test for ydna, so...

    Y-DNA of Iberians or descendants of recent Iberians

    I'll share The last yfull update put me on the branch L-Y265334, with an Brazilian of recent Portuguese descent, my two other matches being Scandinavians from Norway and Sweden, that fall on another branch below Y109374 There is more people in Portugal, Spain (probably Galicia, judging by group...

    What is your y-haplogroup?

    I'm L-Y109374* for now, but will form a new branch on the next yfull update with another Brazilian. My male line ancestors were of Portuguese descent and most of my matches seem to be of either Iberian or Scandinavian origin. No clue of how I inherited this haplogroup or of how it ended in Portugal.

    An Brazilian L-M349

    As presumed, I'll form a new branch with the other Brazilian soon. My matches are him (who is of Portuguese descent), then an Norwegian and an Swede. Intriguing, to be honest.

    An Brazilian L-M349

    YFull released my predictive haplogroup as L-Y109374*! I think that me and the other Brazilian will probably form one new branch when my results are completely processed.

    An Brazilian L-M349

    Yep! My matrilineal line is of Sub-Saharan descent and my patrilineal line is (presumably) of Portuguese descent. I couldn't go much far back on the MTDNA line though, African-Brazilian genealogy is very difficult to actually advance.
  12. Aemilius

    An Brazilian L-M349

    Yes, I think so as well. If there is any kind of distant Central European (or Northwestern European, as there is some Englishmen on this branch) descent, it must be back to the aforementioned Nieuw Holland period back in the 1600's. But this is only if B374 come up as positive, and it seems...

    An Brazilian L-M349

    Not much matches on Germanic Europe itself. There is some remote matches with Americans (14-15cM at most) with that origin (excluding, of course, those of Azorean descent, because the connection with them is more certain), but that's it. Our Brazilian matches in common are from the regions my...

    An Brazilian L-M349

    Fair point! Most of my tree goes back to beginning of the 1800's, with some branches going up to more "famous" families of the colonial times. Only found people with typical Iberian surnames, so any German or Swiss ancestry would probably come up via NPE. If somehow the results fall up on the...

    An Brazilian L-M349

    My results should be coming soon, up to mid January, so it may be a good time to comment here again. Even though my own specific branch is not known yet, I´m more or less convinced that it will be the Y109374 line (called L-BY56726 on ftdna) because of it´s presumed distribution on Western...
