Yes. In fact most western Europeans are related by common descent from humans who lived in the Iberian Peninsula during the last Ice Age, then settled the Atlantic coast of Europe and moved inland. This can be shown in maps here http://www.scs.uiuc.edu/~mcdonald/Wo...groupsMaps.pdf setting out the distribution of Y DNA Haplogroup R1b (inherited by men from their fathers) before the expansion of Europeans to the rest of the world around 1500 CE.
