I am hoping that you have paid for more than 12 marker test, i don't think
you can jump to conclusions on 12, you need 37 marker to really be sure you
are related within the last few generations.

Hi Liz and Jocelyn,
When I went a-looking on FTDNA for your test results Jocelyn, it made me
realise that I had not modified my e-mail address with them (idiot!) and
made the necessary adjustments right away.
Since than I have had a landslide of information re "matches" hitting my
e-mail a/c at a furious rate all rated at Y12 Marker Exact Match level and
the number currently stands at 927!
Whilst yours is the only other Catley, I did notice those other "close"
names that you referred to such as Catlin etc etc which is food for future
thought.
However what did catch my eye is the geographical breakdown by country
where these other exact match individuals live.
As one would expect, England, Scotland and Wales features as a high %
(same exact match marker to number tested in that country) but what is
perhaps more interesting is the % values for Belgium and the Netherlands
which show a higher number still!
So: our ancestral path would seem to be via The Low Countries and I am
wondering if this is a result of our Haplogroup migration into the UK from
modern Belgium and Holland in the days before water levels rose to form
the North Sea, or if it is from continued settlement following the Roman
exit from UK in what we know as the "dark ages"?
