Eleanor McEvoy (1967 - ) is one of a group of extremely successful women singer-songwriters to emerge in Ireland in the early 1990s. She began her career as a violinist in the National Symphony Orchestra, but went solo in 1991 after the release of her first record. She has won numerous awards.



We recommend the Y-37 test or higher Y-67 for your accuracy. The 12-marker DNA test links each to many other surnames and is best used to disprove a suspected genealogical connection on the direct paternal line. If cost is a factor, you can always upgrade at a later date when it is more convenient for you. 

Include some background information about your most distant ancestors. If "unknown" or just a few generations is known, that is ok, we may be able to help with our current knowledge. We ask this of all new members, so that we can better understand and properly group you.
