I figure I ought to let the cat out of the bag...
... have you guys had your autosomal done yet? If so have you done the K36 on gedmatch and entered it into that map creator? I think a lot of you were pretty close... well I figure there is a Western Med phenotype in the Isles...? Here is my map I made with my autosomal and it does in fact mirror my foreign cousin list from FTDNA.
P.S. the four ancestors were all Gaelic Irish and Scots Highlander from Upper State New York and Ontario (I have 4th and 5th cousins of Highland and Hebrides descent and lots in areas of Canada where Highlanders settled such as Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland to name a few... in addition to my Mom's Grandmother's family being Gaelic Irish (McGuire) from Ontario. My Grandfather (the one with glasses), the old man with the cane and the guy in the frame were all O'Dwyers (O'Duibhirs in Irish) and going by my autosomal clustering... they are very likely to be direct descendants of the O'Dwyers of Kilnamanagh of Tipperary in SW Ireland... a famous rebel family. I have a 4th-5th cousin from New South Wales who is a direct descendant of the famous Wicklow rebel Michael Dwyer. My 3rd GGF Philip O'Dwyer and Nora (Leonara) O'Dwyer both have names very common in the family from Tipperary - a Philip O'Dwyer was in fact the last Chief of that family etc... and Leonara was a name of one of the early O'Dwyer Chief's wife. They were usually from the Butler family or another allied family and I still have links to the Butler family in Ireland showing up in my autosomal results!
The three men, my GGF, Grandfather and father were a mixture of Scots-Irish and German/Dutch from Eastern Pennsylvania. My Great Grandfather's mother was a Scottish Ferguson (I still get 4th-5th cousin matches with Fergusons from Scotland and Australia)and the Fergusons probably spent a generation or two in Northern Ireland near Donegal and he married a woman named Ninevah Burd. Her family was from Orminston in East Lothian, Scotland.
Mainly my 3rd-5th cousin matches tend to be Scots, Irish (have a 3rd cousin from Ireland) or a mixture of both groups in Northern Ireland (have a 3rd cousin there too). I also get a few 5th cousins matches from Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Northern Germany/Prussia. A few Russian/Slavic 5th cousins are from my Father's Mother's Mother's Father's family who were Germans who were possibly Volga Germans (Germans in Russia).
My mtDNA group is T2b2b which is most common in Ireland and then Scotland and the rest of the Isles and matched up with my paper trail.
My Y-chromosome research has some old matches, but cool ones. My modern matches only match me at a few more SNPs then this guy 6drif-3 (so my matches are just really old). He is one of the "headless Gladiators" from the Driffield Terrace cemetery SW of York, England. 6drif-3 and his kinsman (same Y-chromosome group of U106 - Z381 - Z156 - Z304) 3drif-16 were tested by Dan Bradley with those other skeletons from Driffield Terrace. I share these SNPs with 6drif-3: R1b-U106-Z381-Z156-Z304/306-DF98-S1911-S1894/S1900-S4004/FGC14818/FGC14823-FGC14816/FGC14817
Here is my map...
