What's Your Y-DNA Haplogroup?

[Ethel]

It's a pity I have no idea where my iberian ancestors are from. The only european ancestor I know for a fact is my italian grandmother. Iberians are from the colonial era.

Not all european-derived colonial ancestry in Brazil is 100% Iberian tho. One could have several things mixed, the surname doesn't always correlate or descend directly from Portugal. They can be given/adopted surnames, there are also bastard/love-children, etc.

Yes I Know, But I did a DNA test. I'm mostly Iberian, SSA and amerindian are residual.

But your first surname it´s your maternal surname or your paternal surname? I think that in Portugal the order of the last names is not so fixed.

Anyway, maybe if you tell your paternal surname to a Portuguese member who knows about Portuguese surnames or genealogy, he can tell you from which Portugal zone it could be.

But I am not sure if Portugal has particular surnames from one area or another as frequently as in Spain, in that aspect, you do not have as much variety AFAIK.

My Paternal surnames are Cardone Gomes; Maternal maiden surnames are Barros da Fonseca. The second surnames are the paternal ones.

Maybe Luso could help with the surnames.

Cardone is Italian, so you paternal line , which is what is related with your Y-dna, and your haplotype should come from Italy.

As long as there were no relatively recent infidelities along the way that break the link with Italy, of course.

[Blemoir]

Cardone is Italian.

Yes, it's from my grandmother which was neapolitan.

What? Your Grandmother? So cannot be Italian, should be from your grandfather...

That´s why I said that in the case of Portugueses and people from territories under their rule i had many doubts about relating the first surname with the paternal haplotype.

Edit:sorry, maybe Cardone is the surname of your grandmother´s husband.

Oh ok my bad... My grandfathers surnames are Gomes and Fonseca. Both portuguese. Gomes is from my paternal grandfather.
