The ancient Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, says, in speaking of the creation of man (book#1 chapter#1) that "Adam",
in the Hebrew tongue, signifies "one that is red & the first man being made of red earth was therefore called Adam".
In the "Types of Mankind" (page 573) NOTT & GLYDON admit that the word AdAm, consists of 2 words, which,
when applied to man, signify "red man". This may refer to when God created Adam & breather life into him,
it was the blood that began to flow in his veins taht gave a healthy ruddy glow (i.e. a human being),

Morphological changes resulting from pronunciation & spelling variations has contemporary
REDMOND genealogy researchers investigating such variants as listed above ... & perhaps others,
as we try to link families together in North-America & push ancestry back to our respective European origins.

The REDMOND & variant surnames DNA Project is an effort to ...
- make sense of the varied REDMOND lineages
- define & elaborate on affinity between the various lineages
- help participants open new lines of research to get around brick walls in their family trees
- provide the means to match participants who may be unaware they share a common ancestor,
within a scientifically determined timeframe which may provide the clue to identify their unknown ancestry.

This DNA test is done on a region of the Y-chromosome that has no biological function.
There are no medical or health issues connected to these markers, other than paternity,
so there are no more privacy issues for this set of numbers than there is for the public awareness of one's surname.
These markers are useful only for genealogical or anthropological research.

A study conducted at Trinity-College in Ireland,Dublin found that a striking percentage of men in Ireland
(& quite a few in Scotland) share the same Y chromosome, suggesting that the 5th-century High King of Ireland,
Niall Noigíallach d=abt.450 (also known as "Niall of the 9 Hostages") may be the ancestor of 1 in 12 Irishmen.
Niall established a dynasty of powerful chieftains that dominated the island for 6 centuries.
