Background
In November 2009, the FTDNA
Walk The Y project discovered a new SNP, L226, that has since been found in all members of the
Irish Type III haplogroup that have tested to date. A comprehensive website exists that has much information on this interesting Dalcassian haplogroup. See:-
Irish Type III website
This haplogroup originated in the counties of Clare, Tipperary and Limerick around the time of King Brian Boru who lived, 926 - 1014. Several distinctive markers indicate the probability of a person being part of this haplogroup, but the presence of SNP L226 is final confirmation.
Who Can Join?
This project is open to those of any cluster who have tested L226 SNP and have returned a
POSITIVE result.
