My Big Y success story

[Tomenable]

My maternal grandfather's brother is Władysław Meller, I tested him with Big Y.
Recently Family Tree DNA has updated his terminal subclade to R1a-FTD92418.

He got a close match with a Miller whose oldest known ancestor is Leopold Miller from Germany, and who is also R1a-FTD92418:

Our most recent common ancestor lived around year 1650 according to FTDNA Discover, but 1100 years ago according to YFull:

I'm not sure if YF089510 from YFull is Leopold Miller or not? (it seems he did not pay for his YFull test so I can't message him).

R1a-FTD92418 according to FTDNA Discover (the haplogroup of Meller from Poland and Miller from Germany):

It is quite funny because it is a Slavic haplogroup originally. Probably some Polabian Slav got Germanized, then his descendants migrated to Poland and became Re-Slavicized here. And some others of his descendants like this Leopold Miller remained German.

I don't think he is the same person, because the YFull tester did use Nebula and his last known ancestor is from Saxony. So unless your miller is also from Saxony and did an additional Nebula test, he is another person I guess. That people do first BigY and then upload a Nebula test at YFull is extremely rare. But of course, it happens occasionally.
