I agree, especially over 37 and 67 markers. I get the impression that it's a
work in progress though, and they do have a comments facility, so I'll give
that a crack.
In my case, I don't pay much attention to YSearch on the grounds that it is
an uncontrolled free-for-all type of service. Useful for the occasional
search, but at best dodgey in terms of accuracy. Still, the seeming

Such a Programme will encourage interest in Irish DNA testing

Hi Billy
I called RTE a short while ago to try to find out whether it will be
available online. The answer is that it won't be online live, but they often
make that kind of thing available after the event. The person I spoke to
said she'd call me tomorrow to let me know if they have any such plans. If
she doesn't call, I'll contact them again.

For starters, Irish people don't speak in "stage Irish" accents. They
certainly wouldn't address someone like you as Sor or Sir either.
And finally, contra to your nineteenth century stereotype, the Irish are
wealthier than the US - in terms of GDP per capita 2007 - so you need to

It's the population size by the time the GD of 5.23 is first exceeded. It
doesn't affect the simulations but is the product of them. I was curious to
see whether there was any correlation between age estimate and end
population. There was, but quite small.

Hi Bernard
I've written software that simulates M222 haplotypes for purposes of testing
various ageing methods.
One thing I could try is to adapt the software to set off generating
haplotypes until the mean GD reaches 5.23 (the mean of the GD's that John
posted) then kick out of the loop. I could set it to do this say a 100 times
and then get the mean of the number of generations taken.
That may give some insight.

That brings up another point worth mentioning, which is that Ireland has a

together they have less than 6 million. While this site on the Irish

I'm one of the Ferguson you mention and another is my cousin Ross. We
have yet another cousin Bruce who is DYS390=25. Our genealogy is known
and from that I can figure that DYS390=24 characterized the haplotype
of our most recent common ancestor. I mention this because we are an
example of a family wherein due to a recent mutation we find both 24

There were forced population movements much later than this.
I grew up in Eastern County Laois, in an area that was "planted", aka
colonized, FOUR (4) times! Starting with the Leix-Offaly plantation of Queen
Mary Tudor in the 1500's and ending with the "Luggacurren evictions" from
1887 to 1909. The latter planters, were mostly Scotch-Irish from Northern
Ireland, with an Anglo-Irish minority from elsewhere.
This is not to mention incursions of native Irish clans, Vikings and Normans
into the area.
