Eoganacht septs

 

 

Welcome!

All workbooks with yDNA base haplotype analysis have been deleted and moved to the Yahoo Forum - TMRCA Case Studies; see http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/R-L21_TMRCA_CaseStudies/

What is our project? Our study will include surname and modal haplotype research of those who:

1. Are South Irish modal haplotype and have Eoganacht surnames

2. Are South Irish modal haplotype and do not have Eoganacht surnames identify cadet branches and move into group 1

3. Are not-South Irish modal haplotype and have Eoganacht surnames identify modal haplotypes - are they indigenous or not indigenous to Southern Ireland

4. Are not-South Irish modal haplotype and do not have Eoganacht surnames identify modal haplotypes - are they indigenous or not indigenous to Southern Ireland identify cadet branches and move into group 3

By some the Eoganacht are considered a pseudo family/political party rather than leaders who passed on their leadership role to their descendants creating a strong yDNA lineage as did the Irish I in the North of Ireland.  From my research this appears to fall within the range of my data and mirrors the conclusion found by the Trinity 2008 Study.  However, there is still much to be learned by studying the descendants of the Eoganacht for their modal haplotypes, SNPs and family history. 

 

Our goal is to better understand the Eoganachts septs, 500-1000A.D. by researching their descendants.

Groups 1-3 are in the South Irish/Eoganacht septs research group.  Members in group 4 that have Eoganacht cadet branch names need to be identified and placed in group 3.

I am in the process of collaborating with Dr. Klyosov in writing a research paper to publish the results of our Case Studies on the Eoganachts:

My goal is to identify the yDNA of the Eoganachts.  The Eoganacht descendants in my FTDNA projects are approx. 50% South Irish modal haplotype and the rest being from indigenous and non-indigenous people.  I will build family trees and branches from clusters using Dr. Anatole Klyosov's mutation rate calculations.  I attach known available family histories to the YDNA family trees and branches.  The result should be very informative.

Haplogroup STR Analysis: We use str haplogroup analysis along with Deep Clade and SNP testing to determine a member's haplogroup.  STR haplogroup analysis is based on theory and may be used to predict Deep Clade or SNP grouping, however only Deep Clade or SNP testing can confirm a members haplogroup.  DNA results less than 67 markers are less accurate.  If you wish to improve the accuracy of your predictive results, upgrade to at least 67 markers.

Eo'ganacht Current Research Results: (sampling not random but based on project members) 12/16/2011 includes Eoganacht, South Irish, Sullivan and Mahoney projects.  Group 4 results are not included in the statistics since they are not in the research group.

Surnames in the Eoganacht sept project include

...Eoganacht Chaisil - MacCarthy, O'Sullivan, plus later O'Dennehy, MacGillicudy, O'Callaghan, MacAuliff

...Eoganacht Locha Lien - Moriarty

...Eoganacht Raithlind - O'Mahoney, O'Donoghue, O'Long, O'Neill, O'Duggan, O'Feehan, O'Donnell, Mongan, O'Connell, Lynch, O'Hea, O'Cohalane/O'Coughlan, O'Cannifree, O'Bogue, Cahalane, O'Cronin, O'Flahiffe, O'Flynn, Connelly, O'Callaghan

...Eoganacht Glendamnach - O'Keefe

...Eoganacht Aine - O'Kirby

...Eoganacht Arann (a.k.a. Ninussa) - extinct

...Eoganacht Ruis Argait - extinct

...Dal Cas - OBrien, Kennedy (not of the Eoganacht sept, however many members are closely related to the Eoganacht sept)

The clan names are well-known and relatively easy to categorize.  The cadet branch names, based on nicknames due to the large number of individuals in a clan trying to differentiate themselves, are more obscure and will be a challenge to identify.
