Group Administrator: Jim Toth
Project Surnames:
| Magher | Mahar | Maher | Marr | | Meagher | O'Meagher |
Project Background:
| Ireland, particularly the area around County Tipperary, is where most Meagher/Maher/Mahar families have their roots. |
Project Goals:
| The purpose of this project is to aid in establishing (1) connections between related families and (2) connections with ancestral locations in Ireland. See http://james.toth.home.att.net/YDNA/Meagher.html for a map of Ireland and more information about Meagher ancestral locations. |
Project Results:
| As expected, the Haplogroup for most of our YDNA results is R1b (either confirmed or predicted). The other Haplogroup is I1 (either confirmed or predicted). I is the second most common Haplogroup in the British Isles. It is expected to be relatively rare among Irish with Gaelic surnames, such as Meagher. Published studies indicate a rate of 1 in 20 for Irish Gaelic, vs. 2 out of 13 so far for our results. |
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.
