Big Y one year later

A year ago I received my Big Y-700 results through FamilyTreeDNA. On my own results I am no closer than last year, as there still are not other Jones testers connected to my line in East Tennessee. As hinted in my last post, cousin Greg has now received the upgraded Big Y results on his Campuzano kit. Unlike my own Jones kit, Greg has two matches on the Block Tree, so now I definitely need to revisit the YDNA materials to understand how or whether these are actionable matches.

His new haplogroup is a subclade of the larger R-DF27, which has a high connection to Northern Spain and Basque Country. There's more to do analyzing the results, but this is a promising sign for the links to Spain.
