Impaler's father results

Yes, right, ancient origins.

I am also on FTDNA Romany group and that's what they said about this specific subclade:

"As you see in the link the J-Y18402 tMRCA of 1000 years is just after the Romaní exodus from India or contemporary.

Those Nakho-Dagestanian came from the Kura-Araxes and Maikop trans-caucasian culture spreading north, from Dagestan on the Caspian sea, toward Grozni and then North of the present Sochi.

I have seen your father's G25 scaled coordinates.

Your dad has more 'Middle Eastern' Persian roots (close to the southern parts of the Caspian Sea ), than the 'Middle Eastern' Anatolian/Ottoman roots.

I don't think that he had direct ancestors from the Northern Caucasus region. More from Persia/Caspian Sea, that's where the 'Caucasus-link' comes from.
