I have a new closest Y-DNA match! And he is ethnic English. Previously, my closest matches were Spanish, but they were related to me ~2900 years ago.
My new English match is related to me two times closer than my Spanish matches, we are related around ~1500 years ago. He has contacted me saying:
Quote: "I heard from the R1b-DF27 Project Admin yesterday morning. Me and you split from the Spanish ~3,000 years ago, and it looks like I split from you ~1500 years ago. In the next couple of weeks, you and I will be on a new branch. He said that us being on a branch together and possibly separating when we did could possibly hint that my ancestors came to England with the Anglo-Saxon migrations. Although hard to know for sure if I moved west or you went east, although it does bring to mind your Lugii>Vandal scenario. He said it’s kind of difficult to tell exactly though because you are on an older Big Y-500. A big region of my Big Y-700 mutations aren’t covered on your old Big Y."
