[added March 31st 2009]
The O'Shea Surname yDNA Project has been going on since early 2003. By January 2009, we have over 80 participants. While most of them are from far-flung places, several members are living in Ireland. We had a generous financial contribution in 2007, which helped us sponsor some kits for Irish-based O'Sheas. Some of these results can be treated as "benchmarks" for yDNA for O'Sheas in areas in Kerry and the other counties associated with O'Sheas, where Sheas and Shees lived in the past. We need more Irish-based O'Sheas who know their O'Shea family history to help the O'Shea diaspora to re-connect with their Irish roots. Irish-based O'Sheas can also re-connect with relatives who emigrated in hard times. So, in 2009, we want to encourage Irish-based O'Sheas to do the simple mouth swab and help us progress the project.
