"Genetic Investigation of the
Patrilinear Kinship Structure of
Early Medieval Ireland"
Brian McEvoy, Katherine Simms, Brian G. Bradley
http://www.irishtype3dna.org/McEvoy2008.pdf
Highlights
Modern surnames are evidence of shared patrilineal kinship confirmed by DNA
studies of Irish men.
Ireland has a large body of surviving genealogical records in some cases as far
back as the 600s CE.
IMH (Irish Modal Haplotype) highly specific (20%) to northwest. Neil lineage.
Traced back to 1010 (standard deviation 390) years before present (YBP)
i.e. 1388 [998] to 608 CE!! [Much more recent than ALL
previous estimates!].
Other leading clans such as Eoganacht and Dal Cais in the south (Munster) that
also claimed descent
from Neil had different DNA and different branches proved to be often not
related to each other.
3. South Africa: DNA of Afrikaners.
Highlights
http://www.africandna.com/ScienPapers%5CDeconstructing_Jaco_Genetic_Heritage_of_an_Afrikaner.pdf
Article concentrates on DNA of one particular family but also discusses
Afrikaner (Dutch Boer) DNA
in general. Very interesting.
Highlights
7% of non-European origin mostly female i.e. 14% mtDNA.
Mostly Bantu and Khoisan (Bushmen).
Founder effects.
Very small number of original population who multiplied
and intermarried with each other. Many marriages of related kin
who married and re-married with each other. Genetical illnesses.
Relative nationality % of founding father disputed and difficult to determine.
One opinion: Msotly Dutch.
Another claims: third French, third German, third Dutch.
[Another claim, not mentioned here, is that ca. half were German.]
Old church records from 1600s onwards reliable. Good genealogy trials.
