This has revealed a number of ancestral haplotypes which distinguish Y-DNA clusters within the Irish population. Several of these are particularly prevalent in Munster, e.g. Irish Type II (defined by CTS4466 et al) and Irish Type III (defined by SNP L226) - both long-established names - and what we have classified as Munster I (defined by SNP ...

It provides a glimpse of the peoples who have contributed to our DNA (autosomal DNA). It also allows one to track their direct maternal and ...

Still it was mostly on St. Patrick’s Day that I vaguely wondered again if I...
What you can see if you look more closely at our AncestryDNA results is that we didn’t just find out we were Irish. We found out very specifically where in Ireland our ancestors came from—known as “communities” in AncestryDNA results.

Thanks to Ancestry, I know I have Irish roots–and not just anywhere in Ireland but specifically in north and western Donegal, and Munster. Since my dad’s more than half Irish, at least some of that had to come from his mom, Grandma Virginia Rae. She’s no longer with us, but I bet she would have gotten a kick out of our Irish roots. Growing up, I di...
