Good afternoon, everyone.
Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is Chris McLain Beal and I've been researching my ancestors in Offaly/Kildare for 20 years and have been the administrator of the "Cenel Brenainn" DNA group since 2017.
https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/mc-govern/about
I recently made a post on the Offaly board looking for O'Guaire from the Geashill-Cloneygowan area. However, I decided to expand this search to all the areas that made up the old kingdom of Ui Failghe. In terms of Laois that is the baronies of Tennehinch (O'Dunne's Country) and Portnehinch (Clanmalier, or O'Dempsey's Country)
This would further our group's research and answer many questions about the where/when of our larger family, I would gladly purchase the kit and send it to the volunteer free of charge as a gracious thank you for participating. This is a "BigY700" test from FamilyTreeDNA, so it would have to be a male on the O'Guaire line who has the ancestry back to this particular area.
I'm going to link the thread in the Offaly board if you are interested in the research of this family thus far and why I'm looking for individuals from specific locations.

If you are interested in taking part of this research, you can email me or DM me here/reply to this thread and I will be in touch.
Cheers,
Chris

Laois that were at once time within the kingdom of Ui Failghe. In terms of Laois, this would be the barony of Tennehinch (O'Dunne's Country) and the barony of Portnehinch (part of O'Dempsey's Country).
