The romantic notion that a particular Y-dna profile indicates some cultural unity fails when considering that the de facto secondary purpose of invading armies seems to be to rape, burn and pillage.
Consider modern-day Indochina: will the future generation descendants of the children fathered by American soldiers who were r1b1c7 be Irish?
Consider the future descendants of children born in post WW II Europe: will they be Irish, or will they be Slavs, Frenchmen, Germans, or Irish?
Why would anyone expect
John, I think I agree with you. My knowledge about haplogroups is minute
compared with other scientists but if this were the true Ui Neill line
shouldn't this database be heavily populated with all variations of the
Neill surname? As it stands there are only 4 out of 435 in this haplogroup
project and very few show up at Ysearch when compared with the M222+
haplotype. If someone can help me understand my observation, I'd really
appreciate it.

ethnicity or tribe.
Hello, David. I have to disagree a little with this statement. Is there
such a thing as a "tribe" and if so can a "tribe" be identified by Y-DNA? It
depends on your definition of tribe. I don't think "tribe" and "ethnic group"
are one
David, I do not think all R1b1c7 are Ui Neill or Connachta.
I have to admit up front that I'm still an O'Rahilly fanatic not quite ready
to buy into the prevaling wisdom that R1b1c7 originated in NW Ireland. As
everyone on this list probably knows O'Rahilly claimed the northern goidels
(by whom he meant the Connachta and their later offshoot, the Ui Neill) were
latecomers to Ireland arriving no earlier than about 50 BC. One of his major
arguments centered on Ptolemy's map of Ireland where he

Marie Kerr's point that one is apt to find Y-DNA haplogroups
disproportionately represented within ethnic groups and to find Y-DNA
haplotype clusters disproportionately represented within families is well
taken. The point I was trying to make is that this information is NOT
contained in the Y-chromosome, but depends on other sorts of research.

What is r1b1c7 called at present?
How does dna-r1b1c7 fit in with other haplotypes?
i.e. are there any known near relations?
anomalies in the family tree? etc.
In the past some said they preferred to see this list as an adjunct
to genealogical inquiries?
Fair enough.
On the other hand there were those who seemed to object to treating dna-r1b1c7
as a kind of tribe or ethnic sub-division.
Why is this?
What are DNA studies, DNA haplogroups and haplotypes if not ethnic studies?

Hi Debra, the problem with the O'Neill lineage is frequently discussed in forums like the genealogy-DNA one. There are a number of very knowledgeable people there both in regards to genetics and genealogy. Unfortunately as there was no way to be sure of paternity before DNA testing, there are plenty of incidents of strange anomalies. The O'Neill one is a NPE -- Non Paternity Event. It is believed, though these opinions change very frequently, the event occurred in the 1500s. There well may be multiples. Th
I have to respectfully disagree--to a point. For one, ethnicity (I suppose
you can debate even the meaning of that word) can be inferred when comparing
individuals who were raised within a specific geographic area. And if I
match someone at the 67th marker level, then a close relationship (within
several generations according to FamilyTree DNA) can be inferred. And if,
like my father, a 1st generation Irish-American from a very small town in
County Mayo, you know you have family still living there, you wi

The list is alive, but not very active.
R1b1b2e is the new name of R1b1c7, but the name of the list has not been
changed.
To see how R1b1b2e fits in with other haplotypes, have a look at the new
Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic Tree, which is available on the FTDNA website,
among other places. Here is a link to a pdf of the chart: *

I think the term "non-paternal event" is misleading, I think it should
be more accurate in describing what is meant.
How about "Extra-genealogical event" denoting an occurrence from
outside normal genealogy? Or a "paternal lineage incursion"?
"Undocumented paternal event" (Gee should we sent them all back?)?
Seriously we need a better lexicon
