Sorting out DNA results, apparent Limerick gene for me
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2017 3:13 pm
I have found sufficient data in my "DNA Relatives" identified by 23andMe to say that the extreme right-end of Chromosome No. 16 (see below graphic portrayal) is associated with either a Limerick or Tipperary family. I think it's Limerick, and I'll work to confirm that with others sharing that segment with me. So far, I have found 5 of us, with some not listing anything about their family backgrounds, and one is an adoptee. Two do show their family surnames (see below). One of them still bears a listed surname, and she states that her father was born in Doon, Limerick (although she also lists Tipperary as the origin of some of her surnames). The surname of Doon is Hayes.
I can't currently say that Hayes of Clare could be involved, because Doon in Limerick adjoins Cappamore, which is a known, longtime home of a Carberry family (the bakers and sportsmen). My sharing of this segment might help with establishing where my Carberry family was before they relocated to Clare by the early 1800s. I do have an 1803 British Army ad seeking Thomas Carberry of Kilfaclyn for having deserted his Limerick militia unit, and there is a Thomas Carberry who pops up in West Clare (his line left for New York and Australia). My family of East Clare had both a Thomas and a Peter T[homas] in the next generation down from the West Clare one.
So, for what it's worth, there is useful info to sift out of these DNA results.
