Hello
I have Y-DNA march on Y-37 level with 4 genetic distance.
When could we have the common male ancestor?
The match got NPE in late XIX century so surname is after mother of his x-greatgrandfather.
What is important the mother of his x-greatgrandfather few years later had married some man and got few children with him. So I think it could be a father of illegitimate match's x-greatgrandfather.

Hello
Whereas I have a Y-DNA match (67 markers with genetic distance of 7), with person who descends in male line from Dirck Jansen Dey - XVII c. Dutch migrant to the North America.
I was searching info about D. Jansen Dey past linage story.
I found this:
"The first ancestor of the Dey family of whom we have any knowledge, was Count Isarn de Die, Grand Maitre De L'Ordre Teutonique Seigneurs, in France, Premiere Croisade, 1096, whose descendants left France, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and settled in Scotland, England, and Holland."

How true is that story?
I know I am connected with my match with haplogroup that FTDNA tells "The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1950 BCE."
I have my deeper subclade but not his because this match doesn't have Big-Y DNA test done (his haplogroup is from FamilyFinder test).
I don't have common surname with that match and I'm from central Europe so I have no idea when our male line could split.
Best regards
