Newbie with R1b

[Kawika1]

I did my Y-DNA testing at family Tree DNA (basic test) and got the result that I am R1b.
Specifically, it says:

R-BY1823​

R-BY3951 (I suppose this is a more narrow grouping?)​

I have no idea what to do from here with this information or what it means. Can anyone advise me? Should I do more testing? What will that be likely to tell me?

My father is of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, with paternal ancestors from Poland and possibly farther back to Ukraine and/or Belarus.

My oldest known paternal ancestor was Jankel Wolkowski (b1806, d1882 in Rawa, Poland).

fom FamilyTreeDNA:
The R-BY3951 paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor R-BY1823 and the rest of humankind around 1600 BCE.

This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the ancestor R-BY1823 was born between the years 2218 and 1098 BCE. The most likely estimate is 1615 BCE, rounded to 1600 BCE.

This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.

The Scientific Details section contains more information.
The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1500 BCE.

This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup R-BY3951 was born between the years 2244 and 912 BCE. The most likely estimate is 1519 BCE, rounded to 1500 BCE.

This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.

The Scientific Details section contains more information.
He is the ancestor of at least 2 descendant lineages known as R-BY3966 and 1 yet unnamed lineage.

Descendant lineages are identified as people test their Y-DNA with the Big Y test. At least two testers from a lineage are needed for a new branch to be named and added to the tree.
There are 281 DNA tested descendants, and they specified that their earliest known origins are from:

Italy,
England,
Germany

, and
14 other countries

Really cool but I'm biased haha. BY1823 is a sub-branch of Z145, which is a sub-ranch of Z43 (which is also my haplogroup but I'm under a different branch) These branches are all very old though, going back to the Bronze Age.

If I recall, there is an Ashkenazi cluster within Z145>BY1823 which you might belong to. You'd have to take a more advanced test to find your most specific sub-branch though (Big-Y700)

If I had to guess, it may have been absorbed into an Ashkenazi community sometime in Late Antiquity or the Medieval period in Central Europe or perhaps Italy.

Can anyone tell me what does it mean for an Austrian-Hungarian to have R-U152?

That's a common area for U152 to show up. Bell Beaker people of the Bronze Age down to the Iron Age Celts have inhabited those areas and it makes sense of their genetic markers to remain there, albeit admixed with other later groups.
