I am a member of Y Haplogroup I1, subclade I-M253, which has its highest frequency in Sweden and Finland's Satakunta province, apparently. I am from Spain, my paternal line comes from Asturias which was the last Visigothic stronghold in Medieval Spain.
I would like to find out more information about my haplogroup, as it is apparently found in very low percentages in the Iberian peninsula, albeit a little bit higher in the Northwestern part of it where my ancestors lived on my father's line for, at least, the last 200 years based on records I have had access to.
So, am I to assume the first of my paternal ancestors to settle in Spain must have been a member of one of the Germanic tribes (Goths, Suebi) that took over Spain after the fall of the Western Roman Empire?
