Welcome!
I just wanted to respond to one element of your message-- the Middle Eastern part. I had my brother take a YDNA test, and the result was J-M172, which has its ancient origins in the Fertile Crescent. My father's line is only traceable on paper to mid-1700s Michoacán, so I was surprised at that result. There could be a Jewish connection, or not-- there isn't really enough evidence either way, but whoever it was most likely went to Spain at some point, and from there, Mexico.We do have some Middle Eastern and Sephardic Jew that shows up in the ethnicity estimates.

Hey! Didn’t even get a notification for this. I just got back my FamilyTreeDNA test for my father, brother and I. We are also indeed also J-M172 as well. My paternal records hit a dead end in the 1700s too for my paternal line. Not sure what the deal is.

Yes, I wish I could trace it back more. His 2 or 3 distant matches are with men not with the same last name (Ruiz), and in fact, they are all matches outside of Mexico-- one with Cuba/Spain, another with Curacao, and another with Costa Rica. It's an intriguing result!
