Colleen, I posted this on ISOGG because it keeps a list of volunteer speakers. This group also should be interested. A few days ago I was in Kilcar, Co....
HI Paul and Listers, Let's get a list started with people who are interested and able to speak to groups in Ireland. I will be the first to sign up - as...
Hi Colleen, Interesting.. The change of religion in the late sixteen hundreds could mean anything. This was a time of flux in Ireland as regards politics and...
Hi Peter, Confused on this end. I just logged into Ysearch, but it does not allow you to search by login ID. Can you give me the names you are interested...
HI Peter, It is hard to say where or if these families connect. A five marker mismatch on 25 markers is weak, even though two of them are on multi copy...
Colleen,  What should we enter for DYS 635 if we haven't been tested for that marker? I was tested by FTDNA. Do I need to make adjustments on any of my...
Hi Jim, I think what you need to do to use the YHRD is: H4.1 +11 DYS441 +1 DYS442 +5 GATA A10 +2 I am assuming you were tested after May 2003. Otherwise you...
Collene, Â No, I tested in August of 2002, but I am using the values as adjusted by FTDNA in 2003. Â Thanks. Jim Barrett - Timpson, TX Barrett Surname DNA -...
While the Clans of Ireland Ltd. organization does not seem to be very active, except for an annual meeting, I think it does maintain a register of "Clan...
A Trinity College Dublin study, actually the 2004 doctorate dissertation of Brian McEvoy, confirmed the existence of a Clan O'Byrne of Leinster group. Our DNA...
HI Paul, Perhaps your could comment on the geographical locations this modal seems to appear, and what names other than Byrnes have it. I have a few more ...
Colleen, I have not been active in the 464xccgg project for some time and do not have the other surnames of those who tested ccgg. Actually, the 464xccgg...
HI Paul, That's interesting. We have several Fitzpatrick clusters - two from central Ireland, one from Co. Cork, one from Co. Down, and one from Co. Clare. ...
Yes, it gets very confusing. We found that three in Monaghan were not at all related to the larger Byrne group there, even tough they had been living among...
We have a small group of Fitzpatricks who are from Co. Clare who are I1b. What do you know about I1b? Colleen In a message dated 5/25/2009 12:40:17 P.M....
While the vast majority in my project are R1b, I also have a singleton R1a, a singleton G, seven I1, and three I2b1. I do not have any I1b--thanking whoever...
I would say there is a good chance of a Viking connection, at least that is what my research has shown as far as the distribution of I1bs in Europe. I1b is an...
HI Bernie, When I said Viking I was going by some reading I had done a while back on I1b, which was the earlier designation for our group. Now things have ...
The names that Ken gives are just a guide, mostly to help himself remember the different groups, and aren't the last word on the geography involved. As far as...
Hi Bernie, So what you are saying is that these Fitzpatricks are part of an older population - probably with origins in England, is that right? Do you have...
Had some upgrades done. Maternal side was recently from Ireland. Grandmother went to England in 1920s,had my mother and my mother came to America in 1954....
Hi, What is your question? Colleen In a message dated 6/7/2009 5:59:04 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, alygal@... writes: Had some upgrades done. Maternal...
HI, Why don't you tell us a little bit about what matches you have come across? You may or may not have to upgrade, depending on who you have matched, and...
The following message is from Kevin Byrne, a member of the Byrne DNA project's Leinster Cluster. This new definitive history and genealogy of the Clan O'Byrne...
My mother's DNA testing indicates that her mtDna (Haplogroup K) has been in Ireland a very long time. Our most recent Irish ancestor is my grandmother b. 1903...
Hi Very interesting aricle. I am from Norway and written genealogy for several centuries only show Norwegian origen, but when I tested my Y-DNA I am...
Oystein, But they took back slaves, some of whom may have been adopted into the society. I recall reading somewhere that there is considerable Irish DNA in...
