The name Wautier was brought to England by the Normans and the name evolved into Walter. I found a Robert Wauthy who died in Yorkshire around 1587. There was always an unsubstantiated understanding in the history of my family that maybe we ended up in Wallonia Belgium to escape Catholic persecution in England and to avoid the English Civil War. It would make sense why my paper trail starts in 1663 in Belgium. It would corroborate a connection with Adrian Stevenson. The question is the connection with the Sardinian sample which I believe could be a Norman emigrant from Sicily. Plus, the Vandals would be more east Germanic where as Z58 is west Germanic.
