This is quite interesting.
My father's family has more than 1,000 years of history in Ireland [that'd be multiple great-grandparents, 33 to 40 generations give or take if one says a generation is 25 to 30 years of age].... and yet when doing such tests as gedmatch [however general it can be] there is a large amount of Spanish connection for both my sister & I [K13b gives a near even 75/25% split between English/Irish & Spanish with the mixed population @ a 2.67 closeness for myself... however, look at the single populations and Spanish is quite further back/older than the other reference populations].
In fact, using the generalized gedmatch, it's the 2nd highest concentration of names that pop up [via CTRL + F for Spanish] after French. The French connection I know of, the Spanish [/Iberian] threw me for a loop until looking at this.
