An Brazilian L-M349

[Aemilius]

You have both L

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.

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.

 

[Aemilius]

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.

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 Eastern Mediterranean or broadly "Imperial Roman" admixture (such as the one shown here) that may corroborate with this. Both Caldas de Reis (formely Aquae Calidae) in Galicia and Chaves (formerly Aquae Flaviae) in Northern Portugal, from where my matches trace their descent, have documented Roman presence too.
I hope for more ancient samples from Gallaecia to come up, it is deeply undertested when compared with the rest of Iberia.

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