The Bollard/Ballard family found in Ireland having taken BigY700 test. We find that the closest Ancient Burial data confirms a match In Groningen, Netherlands dated 1037 - 1043 AD this is consistent with the Ballards found in this area during this period, a branch is known to have later settled in Dublin, Ireland.

Further we find ancient burial matches in Turin, Lombardy territory, dated 500 - 700 BC this could be a signal that relates to the Bellardi of Lucca merchants that came to England, France and Netherlands during this period and a little after 11th & 12th Century or could be another in-dependent line.

Earlier ancient burials dated 770 - 544 BC in France could be an indicator of a Lombard confederate signal.

In summary I would highly suspect that the Ballard/Bollards in this Haplogroup can be traced back to the Netherlands in the first instance and very Likely further into Lombardy.

subsequent investigations into the Bellardi of Lucca and the Bollards of the Netherlands does lend its self to those being one and the same people, but research is ongoing.
