Project Surnames:
| Beirne | Birne | Bourne | Bournes | | Breen | Brien | Burn | Burne | | Burnes | Burness | Burns | Byrne | | Byrnes | O'Beirne | O'Byrne |
Project Background:
The name Byrne(s) has many spelling variations and many distinct origins, that between them have caused much confusion. Many of us without verifiable paper trails have depended on oral history for our ancestral linkage, and have found this to be inaccurate.
In Ireland there were the Clan O’Byrne of Leinster, the O’Beirne sept of Roscommon, the Muinter Birne of Tyrone, the MacConboirne of Mayo, the O’Braoin/O’Breen of Westmeath, the MacBraoin/MacBreen of Kilkenny and other as yet unidentified groups whose Gaelic names have been anglicized to Byrne or Burns.
Similarly, in Scotland there were several groups of Burns and Burness—in Argyll, Kincardinshire, Ayrshire, and east Teviotdale—that may be of common origins, or completely separate. Some of these migrated directly to far lands, while many went to Ireland, Later, some of their descendants moved to America or other countries.
DNA has finally given us a tool to sort out this confusion and help us identify which of the many ancestral possibilities we each can claim. This project is limited to those whose surnames we have listed, unless administrator permission is obtained. |
Project Goals:
1. To separate the various groups with surnames phonetically similar to Byrne(s).
2. To connect each member to his appropriate group, such as the O'Byrne clan of Leinster, the O'Beirne Sept of Roscommon, the Burns sept of Argyll, or any other group or family.
3. To identify other as yet unknown groups whose names are phonetically similar to Byrne(s).
4. To find, when our project reaches the necessary size, the MRCA of each group. |
DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members
* Haplogroups in green have been
confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have
been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the
individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease
and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for
ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then
we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the
kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider
ordering a SNP confirmation test.
