What's Your Y-DNA Haplogroup?

I'd love to get a test done, hopefully soon. I've seen a study that showed that R1b and I1 are by far the most common among Afrikaner men.

Not surprising, considering the fact that they are also the most common haplogroups in NW Europe.

I've been searching for matches on genetree, and all my matches seem to revolve around people who's main paternal ancestor go back to England, Scotland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, all R1b1b2 M269, the matches 72% and greater, my highest match is 80%.

So maybe my R1b1b2 M269 is a Germanic rather than Celtic one?

I do not match with any of the M222 Irish folk and such.

A Germanic R1b would also go along with my Yorkshire ancestry.

Germanic R1b is R1b-U106. According to Eupedia's R1b tree R1b-M269 is much older than that. Originating in the Caucasus. R1b and R1a generally represent the Yamnaya of the Russian Stepp. Before the Yamnaya settled in the Stepp they were in the Caucasus region. After moving to the Stepp the branched out in all directions. R1b mostly going into western and central Europe, but with some going south into Africa. R1a going south east into western Asia and west in eastern Europe:

Yeah but I turned out to be E-V13, which is rarer in NW Europe (but not absent).

It was unexpected, but now I consider it to be interesting.

The Eupedia site has a map showing the distribution of haplogroup E-V13 in Europe, the Middle East & North Africa. It can be up 5% in northern and western Europe going up to 20% in central Europe reaching a maximum of 40% in SE Europe.

The full sequence of my Y-DNA is as follows: R-M207>M173>M343>L754>L761>L389>P297>M269>L23>L51>P310>L151>P312>Z46516>ZZ11>U152>L2>Z49>Z142>Z51>L562>Z57>S1491>Y23962>Y23964>Y23824>FT92823>FTB66216>MF52967>FTE46171

According to FamilyTreeDNA, my Y-DNA has linked me to families bearing the surnames Keith and Gourlay. These families are both Scottish families that descend from Normans that settled in Scotland. The Keith connection is because they descend from my Y-DNA but due to mutation aren't exactly the same (mutating roughly between 15th-16th centuries). The Gourlay connection is further down the sequence as it is the parental Y-DNA of my haplogroup.

Either way, I believe that my Y-DNA is in fact from either Norman or some other continental origin.
