Y-DNA of Iberians or descendants of recent Iberians

I'll share
The last yfull update put me on the branch L-Y265334, with an Brazilian of recent Portuguese descent, my two other matches being Scandinavians from Norway and Sweden, that fall on another branch below Y109374
There is more people in Portugal, Spain (probably Galicia, judging by group projects) and Scandinavia on FTDNA, but they did not upload their results on yfull and the TMRCA is still quite old
My branch prior of year 1000 ac (800bc) has a connection with One guy from asturias

Do you advise me to use yfull? I only have big y from ftdna

This is your Y haplogroup tree in yfull (your branch is R-BY95973, that is equivalent to R-Y86612 in Yfull tree):

You have two correspondences: One from the Azores and another from Rio de Janeiro.
You have done the Big Y 700 and if you want you can pay FTDNA to that they can generate a '.BAM' file of your yDNA raw data for you. When you already have the .BAM file generated by FTDNA, you can upload it to Yfull, also for a fee.

As Duarte explained, you would have to pay both FTDNA for the .BAM file and the fee from yfull to have your sample included in the tree.
So, in my opinion, it really depends on how much you can spend, as the entire process can be (somewhat) expensive. An Big Y is already a good test for ydna, so the upload on yfull probably isn't gonna to change much, other than possibly matching people who didn't test at FTDNA.

Thank you both in advance for your explanation and help!
It's always good to know more about our past!

In this case I would only connect with the person who is from Brazil.

On yfull, can you find out the name or nickname of the "matches"?
If possible, I can always ask my Azores match to provide it to me.

An interesting fact I discovered was:
"The Portuguese began to populate the Azores islands around 1432, coming mainly from the Algarve, Alentejo, Estremadura and Minho, followed by the entry of Flemings, Bretons and other Europeans and North Africans."


This helps explain why my matches share a common ancestor in the year +- 1250 and with me only in the year +-1000.

In other words, my branch probably spread from the north of Portugal to the center (my line) and south of Portugal with the reconquest.
The southern branch later populated the Azores area.

Later our line also populated Brazil, the Minas Gerais area (a match that I am very close to (him + two sons) who made y111 and this match of yfull who is from Rio de Janeiro.

There is an space for the information about most distant ancestors, but this is optional (like FTDNA). So you'd probably need to contact the owners of the samples.
Your take on your line looks very plausible. My own ancestors probably followed a similar route, as the Iberians on Y109374 seem to be mostly from Galicia and northern Portugal as for now.
 
Kirgonix, for the BAM file you have to pay €93 ($100), plus €45 for the Yfull service.
I uploaded my data to Yfull, and I was assigned the same terminal branch.
One of the advantages of Yfull is that you can find matches who may come from different companies, from FTDna, Nebula, etc…, like Aemilius said.
In my case this did not happen. I am alone in my branch.
I have more people in my branch on FTDNA than on Yfull.
But my main reason for subscribing to Yfull wasn't even to find matches, it was to be registered, with my haplogroup (ydna and mtdna), on the service.
And in my opinion, that alone is worth it.​

Ok. Yor mtDNA was imported from FTDNA too?

Yes, you need to take the mtDNA test.

Its a FASTA file and and it can be downloaded from the mtDNA Mutations page, in the lower right corner there is a orange FASTA button.
This is the information Yfull has about your maternal haplogroup :

There is a tendency to assume that R1b and other similar clades have spread in recent times solely from the far north fringes to the south (Reconquista). Still, I can't see why they couldn't have expanded naturally with bell-beakers and what later became Celticized tribes. The peninsula is prominent, and there is no barrier to these people moving quickly to Andalusia and other areas for settlement. Indeed, the process wasn't unique to the North…and if anything, these people didn't sit in the North and then decided to miraculously all at once move south. It is far more logical that several waves moved in different paths in their expansion. What do you think? The Lusitanians, for example, expanded entirely south; they aren't northern fringe tribes, and our clade was found in the Roman period in Lusitania territory, dating in more central-south locations. Conimbriga, for example, etc. I am not saying our clade is uniquely Lusitanian, as it was found in north Spain and even in North East France, Rhine area Germany and a brand new sample even appears from Bulgaria… despite being probably the most Iberian-shifted r1b-df27 subclade to date, it shows surprising levels of modern diversity.

R1b clades have been present in the Iberian Peninsula, from north to south, since the Early Bronze Age.

So in your opinion before the 'Reconquista' we are Mozarabs?

I have always had great doubts about the meaning of the term Mozarab, as opposed to other terms used to describe Christians and Muslims, ethnic and non-ethnic, in the Iberian Peninsula during the Muslim occupation. This causes doubt even in understanding the analyses of cultures identified in Iberian archaeological sites in the supplementary tables of academic studies. Sometimes they speak of Moors, sometimes they speak of Mozarabs and other times they only speak of Christians and Muslims. If I am wrong, please correct me: The Iberian Christians who lived under Muslim rule in Al-Andalus, those that were called Mozarabs, were descendants of the ancient Hispano-Gothic Christians who became Arabic speakers during Muslim rule. From the mid-9th century, the language of the rulers, Arabic, was widely adopted by the Mozarabs and so was their culture. These Arabized Christians were given the name Mozarabs. In contrast to the term Mozarab, the term Muladi was used. The Muladis were Christians who abandoned Christianity and converted to Islam and lived among Muslims. They were different from the Mozarabs, who remained Christians in areas under Muslim rule. Among the Muladis were populations of Hispano-Roman and Visigothic origin who adopted the religion, language and customs of Islam in order to enjoy the same rights as Muslims in Al-Andalus. In short, the Iberian Arab world was multiethnic and multicultural.

Well it gets to that. I’m talking way before the reconquista. I’m talking about the migratory infusion of Bell Beaker culture people carrying our subclades. I don’t necessarily think they didn’t exist among the more ancient south Iberians and were naturally infused into modern times. Since every movement involves displacement id say southerners who were occupied the longest had more possibility of mixing with repopulation folk compared to more central north territories that didn’t have nearly the presence of moorish dominance. That’s why typically southern Portuguese despite being heavily reconquista Christian replaced, probably have some mixture with Mozarabic types.

Yeah, the correct one is to rank ourselves as Bell Beakers, we R-DF27.

How you talked and well. There are findings of the Roman periode already with the haplogroup R-Z225 for example and it is possible that many areas farther away from large cities preserve the populations prior to the Roman conquests as well as later achievements.

Of course, there's always the curiosity in trying to figure out what "zone" of Iberia our branches, in this case would be but it's something very hard to predict

Yes normally when I mean the Mozarabes phalus of Christians who have adopted the Arabic language.

In the search for the possible area where my haplogroup would be R-BY95973 (trained) in the year 1000 I tried to draw some conclusions and one would be or be of the asturia or be Mozarabe (Cordoba Emirate).

One thing is for sure.
this branch formed in the year 1000 and his descendents (with y-dna teste) are only Portuguese and Brazilians, so i supose that this haplogroup is located somewhere in what is now considered Portugal.

In this case, to a Cordoba Emirate inhabitant, how am I to call?

this branch formed in the year 1000 is a celebration only of Portuguese and Brazilians, it would soon be located somewhere in what is now considered Portugal.

In this case, to a Cordoba Emirate inhabitant, how am I to call (in theus mozarabe)?
I wouldn't know how to refer to an individual who was a native of the Emirate of Córdoba in the 9th century. Emirati? Considering the language spoken at the time in the region of origin of his haplogroup, I would consider the timeline shown by the dynamic map in this Wikipedia article:

So Galician or Mozarabic.
Yes. Probably. Your ancestor with whom you share the Y haplogroup spoke a Romance language: Galician or Mozarabic, or even both, who knows (bilingual). From the example given in the Wikipedia article, it can be seen that Mozarabic, Castilian, Portuguese and Galician are very similar and mutually intelligible. With the Reconquista, the Galician expanded southwards, becoming Galician-Portuguese, and today Galician and Portuguese are distinct languages (some linguists still say that both are only one language, with two variants). The Mozarabic was pushed southwards until it completely disappeared at the end of the 14th century.

I'm mexican, but my Y-DNA is from Spain.

I used MyHeritage DNA raw data to FTDNA and they gave me the confirmed Y-DNA haplogroup E-PF2546 (It's from the Imperial Age).
