Results:
January 2013
The results obtained to date indicate that:
a) the Harnett/Hartnett men shared a common ancestor as recently as 200-300 years ago.
b) they are members of the South Irish Eoghanacht tribe.
c) they are not Viking as had been suggested by one theory. To suggest that they are descendants of King Canute would require him to have been R1b1a2 and we have no proof of that. We do, however, have very strong eveidence so far that the Harnetts share an ancient a common ancestor with the Moriarty and O Mahony and other Eoghanacht septs.
Further results which were anticipated in February 2013 showed a degree of consistency with the existing participants.
