Patrick Sarsfield is quite a prominent Irishman to share a ydna connection with. That's so great.
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Patrick-SarsfieldQuote:
Patrick Sarsfield (born, Lucan, County Dublin, Ire.—died August 1693, Huy, Austrian Netherlands) was a Jacobite soldier who played a leading role in the Irish Roman Catholic resistance (1689–91) to England’s King William III. Sarsfield remains a favourite hero of the Irish national tradition.
His grandfather, Rory O’More, was a leader of an Irish Catholic uprising against the English in 1641. Sarsfield served in the army of King Louis XIV of France from 1671 to 1678, and, after the accession of the Catholic James II to the English throne in 1685, he helped James’s commander in Ireland, Richard Talbot (later earl of Tyrconnell), purge Protestants from the Irish army. When James was deposed by the Protestant William of Orange (later King William III) in 1688, Sarsfield accompanied James to France and then to Ireland.
During the early months of the Irish Jacobite war against William, Sarsfield distinguished himself as a cavalry commander and was promoted to major general. On July 1, 1690, William severely defeated the Jacobites in the Battle of the Boyne. Sarsfield rallied the beaten army, organized the defense of Limerick, and in August made a spectacularly successful attack on William’s artillery train at Ballyneety. He negotiated the final Jacobite surrender at Limerick (October 1691) and then joined Louis XIV’s army in the Spanish Netherlands, where he was wounded fighting the English at Neerwinden, near Landen, on July 29, 1693, and died a few days later. James had made Sarsfield earl of Lucan in 1691, but the title was recognized only by the Jacobites.
I'm sure you are aware of this but for other people it might be interesting. Patrick Sarsfield's paternal side was English and his mother's side were Irish.

Originally of English descent, the Sarsfield family were wealthy Protestant Establishment and ultimately Catholic merchants, who settled in Dublin; Sir William Sarsfield was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1566, reportedly for providing the Crown financial support during Shane O'Neill's rebellion. Sir William would have been the per-eminent "Palesman" at the time and was a member of the Established (Anglican) Church, as well as being loyal to the English Crown. He purchased Lucan Manor, a large estate to the west of Dublin, and Tully Commandery in County Kildare.
Perhaps from or near Wales? E-v12 in the Isles seems to be Cambro-Norman. Particularly it is most associated with the Roche/Roach Norman family of Ireland, and the Prater/Prather family from Wiltshire England of the 1500s.
