Early Connachta

  1. The Ailill Molt lineage appears to have one or two missing generations prior to Eógan Bél.
  2. It is expected that several of the currently independent Uí Néill subclades will be “unified” under one or more parent clades. Many of these subclades have too few samples/kits to identify any such “unifying” mutations currently.
  3. The Cenél Fiachach appears to be split across R1b-ZS8379 and R1b-FT17642 currently. A “unifying” mutation may be discovered in the future.
  4. Eógan Sríab’s descendants all appear to be under R1b-A259. The other 5 subclades of R1b-A18726 are then best attributed to his brother Ernán, who is given a quite extensive descendant genealogy before being abruptly dropped. It is anticipated that some of the 5 subclades will eventually be combined under one or more “unifying” mutations.
  5. Little is known about Cruitine other than a brief descendant genealogy under the heading of the Uí nErcca Céin
  6. The genealogy for the Uí Briúin Aí comes from Peter O’Connell’s King List. While it is divergent from almost all other genealogies, it is the only one that explains the Y-DNA.
  7. Assigning R1b-FGC5939 to the descendants of Eóchád Tírmchárnae arises from the fact he is the only known possibility; and preserves the consistent genealogy of the 3 sons of Fergus. It also explains certain anomalies in the annals.
