I don't think that Big Y testing will give you the results and answers you seeking.
My haplogroup (including subclade) is extremely rare in Europe, and only a few examples found in the British Isles, and most of those are in the northern counties, mostly Yorkshire, there are over 40 matches at varying genetic distances in America, but they all descend from the same immigrant ancestor (migrated to Jamestown in 1618)/
About six of us in the project have tested Big Y.. Previous to testing we were R-Z93, subsequent to testing we are R-Z93>YP5578 of that group two (including myself) are further mutated to R-Z93>YP5578>YP5904
The two that are R-YP5904 are separated at a genetic distance of 1, but that doesn't tell the story either, because our common ancestor was born 1637.
Point is that Big Y has revealed that our R-Z93 has mutated/evolved into subclades and subclades and even sub sub clades (we both have what are called novel SNP's, that is SNP's that until someone else tests Big Y and has the same SNP's will be reclassified as confirmed.
I share with this distant cousin 45 Novel Variants. However I share 58 novel variants with an even more distant cousin, one's whose common ancestor with me was born in the British Isles between 350 and 1300 C.E., yet his DNA is R-Z93>YP5578 and he does not have YP5904.
This means that although all of us share the same ancestor born between 350-1300, and He does not share the same More Recent Common Ancestor as my cousin who shares with me the man born in the Virginia Colony.
It is not known yet when the subclade R-YP5904 mutated into existence.It could have been before the migration of our common ancestor or after the mutation of our common ancestor.
That analysis is being done by the BigY R1a project and should be available in summer 2017 (The admin of the Yfull groups are volunteers)
