John,
I have tested and confirmed R1b1c7 (M222) but, I'm new to Irish
history. I have always wondered about the origin of my surname, LOGAN
and had read about O'Rahilly's four separate waves of Celtic invaders:
* The Cruithne
or Priteni (c. 700 - 500 BC)
* The Builg or Irainn
(c. 500 BC)
* The Lagin , the Domnain
Correction : the "much lower age" in paragraph 2 should read "much higher
age"

Hi Nextdill, of course many Irish assimilated into Ulster Scot and visa versa. I have studied the Plantation at length and it's clear that many did. A few book suggestions below.
Consider the situation before the plantation. there had been 50 years of war (amongst Irish septs, invading McDonalds, and finally the English). There was not a church in Ulster that had a roof.
You have seen what a few years of war does in various countries today. By destroying the infrastructure, there is little religious or oth

Ken Nordtvedt tells us, "Bottom line: stick to the variance method rather
than GD method."
I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not entirely sure what to do with this
advice. In statistics, the variance is the square of the standard deviation.
The standard deviation is "the root mean square deviation." To calculate
this for a list of numbers, you compute the average of all the numbers on
the list, subtract this from each of the numbers in turn, square the result,
then add all of the squares up, divide by the

Some years ago Edward McLysaght published the Hearth Money Rolls for Co. Sligo in Analecta Hibernica Vol 29. His source was a hand-written copy found at Markree Castle, and he commented that all surviving rolls were copies, contain many errors, and are incomplete. He listed the surviving copies as Antrim, Armagh, Cavan (parishes of Killeshandra, Killdallan, Killenagh, Templeport, and Tomregan), Derry, Donegal, Dublin, Fermanagh, Kildare (only some portions that are included with Dublin), Louth, Monaghan,

There was a burst of enthusiasm about a year ago for a rare condition at DYS
