What's Your Y-DNA Haplogroup?

[Grace O'Malley]

This is for my brother. The match is of French origin and because it is M222 I suspect there is an NPE on their side especially as it is a branch that is only recent.

The match I have with the person of French origin has now been acknowledged as an NPE or a name change. This was fairly obvious to me. This is the branch that we descend from.

Cenél nEógain and the Donegal kingdoms, AD 800–1200
Brian Lacey

Cenél nEógain, a royal dynasty from Inishowen in Donegal, defeated its previously more successful opponent, Cenél Conaill – also from Donegal – at the battle of Clóitech in AD 789. All changed following that battle. From then on, the Cenél nEógain kingdom, known as ‘Ailech’, spread across Counties Derry, Tyrone (giving that territory its name), into Armagh, and dominated the whole territory of Ulster. It also attained, alternately, the higher kingship of Tara. After surnames appeared c.1000, the Mac Lochlainns and O’Neills became Cenél nEógain’s leading families. Meanwhile, the defeated Cenél Conaill struggled to maintain some degree of prestige following the emergence of a previously minor, upstart kingdom, originally from west Donegal, the Síl Lugdach. By c.1200 the O’Neills and the leading Síl Lugdach family, the O’Donnells, were in position to rule the whole of Ulster until the English conquest c.1600. This book outlines in detail how that situation came about.

Not confirmed but this might be subclade of Petrovic of Montenegro dynasty, separate branch of our E-BY4526 separated some 3100 years ago. If thats the case E-BY4526, pretty minor subclade among Serbs will have two dynasties very important for Serbs and Montenegrins and their modern statehood inside pretty unimportant subclade for Serbs:

According to FTDNA, I am R-FGC41927. This is part of the R-L21 group. The R-FGC41927 paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor R-FGC41932 and the rest of humankind around 1400 CE. This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the ancestor R-FGC41932 was born between the years 1112 and 1586 CE. The most likely estimate is 1383 CE, rounded to 1400 CE. The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1650 CE. This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup R-FGC41927 was born between the years 1385 and 1847 CE. The most likely estimate is 1665 CE, rounded to 1650 CE.

Hello Grace O'Malley, I was reading about my surname linked to King Niall last night and it's claimed the clan probably originates here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Érimón

Has this came up in your research or do you have any theories? Regards

E1b1b1 subclade E-M78. I had my dad test back in 2011.

That’s a cool Y-haplogroup. I think that haplogroup has been found in some ancient Egyptian remains and is associated with Natufians. Someone can clarify if I’m wrong. I’m more familiar with my Y line.

My subclade is actually Eastern Gaul, not Balkan

That's mythology and not factual. I would advise you get the Big Y done if you have not already done so and join one of the many group projects available there. That's why I know about my paternal ydna.

Some of the projects I'm in at FTDNA are.

You might find this a useful read is you are M222.

If my father ever tested he never told me since we are estranged. Years ago I saw someone online with the same old surname with Y-DNA "I" something.

Years ago my father told me it is Czech. Paper trail says it is Slovak. I asked Google AI Overview tonight and it says, "In Croatia, about 80 people with the surname (omitted) live today, mostly concentrated in Zagreb and Djakovo".
