A DNA update

[Andrew Lancaster4]

A short note. We now have a reasonable amount of evidence to say that Irish men bearing "Dunleavy" patronymics are quite often of a DNA type which is associated with the Ui Neill and North Western Ireland. There are also others, including a hint that there are some with the DNA type more like that found in our chiefly family. As more data builds up I suppose it will be interesting to try to establish whether we can divide the Dunleavys up into dynasties matching the potential Dunleavy patriarchs in Irish histories.
