As of 12 December 2008 we have results back for 43 men.
We have 37 marker Y-DNA results for our new member, Kit# 136758.
He can trace his family line back to;
Matthew Whalen, marr Mary Nolan
Patrick Joseph Whalen b 1870, Co Tipperary Ireland, marr Annie Heaphy
This family have a 36/37 match with 2 other members in the group, kits 55192 and 84389. This is considered a very tight match,so we will be very interested to see if any of the famlies can find a paper connection.
The lineages of the matches are;
Kit# 55192
John Phelan b 1715, Co Laois Ireland.
Thomas Phelan b 1750-60, Ireland
Michael Phelan b 1785, Ireland
