Ballard Group 2 and Group 6 entered Britannia long before other groups of Angles and Saxon or even the Romans. The first SNP in the BigY results on the GlobeTrekker Map crossed in the south near Kent about 1750 BCE and stayed moving north along the coast for many generations. This area became known as East Angles, North Folk/South Folk and home to the Sutton Hoo burial site.

The common male ancestor during this migration is Z2 > Z1 as shown below. This is the Z2 Time Tree showing that both groups share the male ancestor found buried under an old Saxon Church, under Lincoln Castle (Z8): https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/R-Z2/tree

After Z1, Group 6 Ballard lines branch to Z344 and Group 2 Ballard lines branch to Z346.
