Sandy,
I have an uncle who is KANE from Laois, and he has many relatives of the
same name in Laois/Kildare - I haven't been successful in getting him to
have his DNA tested yet, but he says that the family came from "Northern
Ireland" a couple of centuries ago and are definitely O'Cathain, sub chiefs
to the O'Neills.
Cheers,
Paul

Watch out; all those birth events will be blamed on my great uncle Ole

How about
"Other Lineage Event" or "Outside Lineage Event"
LOLOL - sorry I didn't realize that it would be OLE or Ole! Oh, well, at
least it would remove the stigma and make it sound festive!
Maybe "Other Surname Event" or "OSE" would be better.

Your right David, my oldest son I adopted after I married his mother, she had him out of wedlock as a young girl and kept him. I love him as my own and always will, as at that time I had two girls of my own and did not think I would have a son. I later did have my own biological son. As a member of a family who had Native ancestors, we have had many tribe's that white officials and Missionary's forced white names on also which has been a real problem over the ages.

Gee Linda, lighten up a little, who says I have a "campaign"? There is
no such thing as a Non-paternal event, SOMEONE is the father. Someone
did the dirty deed. That event was one of paternity.
It is just hard to determine who, in some cases. So the closest thing to
accurately describing what is likely is a "non-marital genetic
incursion" into a family line, of course this breaks the surname/genetic
commonality of a line.
And yes I have one in my family I have solved WITH dna testing.

Comparing the 368 haplotypes with at least 37 markers within the R-M222
Project, we see the following genetic distances represented:
GD Count
0 1
1 8
2 20
3 28
4 60
5 52
6 65
7 41
8 43
9 25 (plus one that is M222-)
10 13
11 2
12 2
13 1
14 2
15 2
That is, there is one haplotype that matches the R-M222 modal haplotype
exactly, 8 that are one step off, 20 at a genetic distance of 2, and so on.
The greatest genetic distance observed among confirmed R-M222 haplotypes is
15. The mode of the distribution is 6
Hi John, sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that the possible NPE associated with the blacksmith's son was the cause of the 'loss' of the main O'Neill line. I used that as an illustration only because at least it is remembered while older ambiguous situations are not in times when we have only lists of kings and, maybe, tanists. Especially in a culture that was substantially different from this one -- where there was nothing immoral with having multiple wives, for example, in pre-Christian Ireland. Adoption w

Why not look at where R1b1b2e is found today in Scotland . I will bet most will be found in Glascow or nearby, where by 1830 better than 80% were Glascow Irish from Ulster . I cannot see how modern Y-DNA is going to explain what transpired more than 1000 years ago in the
British Isles between Ireland and Scotland . How many back and forths were there ?
I think the horse expired , due to the many beatings .

Hi Bernard
Whilst I can see that population growth can plausibly be a function of land
fertility, what worries me is that the very first M222+ was the child of an
L21. In other words, he was of the same social make-up, from the same
geographical area and was quite likely to have had L21 siblings, cousins and
other relatives.
Also, prolific breeding by one grouping seems unlikely to lead in itself to
the extinction of another (initially far more populous) group.
It would make more sense to me would be if,

Hi John
They are obviously not R1b1c7.
You claimed in an earlier posting that you had never seen Lamont DNA that
was R1b1c7. You made this claim notwithstanding the fact that I pointed out
Lamont 94014 to you in an e-mail some six months ago. You even acknowledged
receipt of my e-mail by replying to it.
My point is that you have indeed seen Lamont DNA that is R1b1c7.
What's yours?

In the new FTDNA Haplotree pages, I find I have 16 exact matches

Don't forget that a man can end up with a surname not belonging to his
biological father in many ways that do not involve any extra-marital
affairs, so we don't want to choose a term that implies such. I am sure this

One can be adopted, formally or informally, and take the name of the
adoptive father and/or mother. One can choose or be assigned a new surname

Re R1b1c7
The correspondence in referring to "Non Paternity Event"
terminology indicates scope for a bit of fun as well as a search
for a more logical description.
The invention of a suitable substitute would be of benefit to all
involved in Genealogical discussion.
"Extra Marital" (EM) could be used, however Extra Marital
Affairs or Sex do not necessarily lead to Paternity.
How about "Irregular Paternity" (IP)
or
"Irregular Paternity Event or Intrusion" (IPE or IPI).

John McLaughlin asks, "Would you accept the idea of [the Ui Neill] being a
"majority" of R1b1c7?" I think he means to ask whether I would accept that a
majority of the Ui Neill were R1b1c7, but I suppose it is also a reasonable
question to ask whether a majority of R1b1c7 folks today have paternal line
descent from the Ui Neill.
The short answer to the first parsing of the question is, "sure, probably
so." A longer answer would require some caveats; for example, it is at least
theoretically possible that a
If I understand this, a group of individuals (probably starting with
one, or a few) had a mutation that became persistent in his down line,
and those changes are now known as M222. Somehow, through either mating
choices, domination or through a trait which enabled "survival of the
fittest" in certain localities that trait is now dominant, and the
other traits (possibly the root stock as well) have been superseded.
I can see this happening in "island" populations which are isolated from
incursions,
