Dan: If you want to compare your kit with my daughter's, I would see if she's agreeable, if you wish.

My daughter has a match (4th cousin to remote cousin) with a Margaret McKenna on FTDNA but no information is provided by the match. The match is 32 cM with an X Match.

Yes, Dan. I have done a YDNA test. However the McKennas (or, as they sometimes called themselves, Kennaugh) are related through my wife's family. My daughter has had her atDNA done but no McKenna matches. My wife's Great Grandmother, Mary Catherine McKenna, is a total mystery except that she was somehow connected to the McKennas of Vernon River, PEI. No luck so far tracing her.

Thanks, Robert, for your efforts. Not sure what all this means yet, not sure I need to go down this road, but who knows?, no harm to inquire.

Sorry, Robert, I forgot to mention my name is Walsh and not Cody. There are no Codys in my family tree. Yes, my predicted Haplogroup is R-M269. I have already joined the Walsh surname group (along with all the surname groups with surnames which are in my family tree) with no luck. One of my matches has a Bridget Walsh from County Kilkenny (as is my GGGF) in the family tree. I have emailed them and am still hoping for a reply.

I  have 4 matches at 67 markers with a genetic distances of 6,6,7 &7. My male ancestor is from County Kilkenny (Rower Parish), Ireland. Names are Cody, Wicker, Bennett, and Bray. Both Cody and Wicker have Cody as earliest common ancestor and 2 are in the same predicted Haplogroup as I am. Iknow nothing of YSNP testing thst has been done, none here.

Hi, Dan. I'm following the PEI Mckennas also. Specifically I am looking for a connection between my wife's Great Grandmother, Mary Kate McKenna (Carbonear and Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland), and an Ellen McKenna of Vernon River, PEI. Not much help to you I know but I thought I'd share just in case. All the best.

I've done my YDNA to 67 markers. No matches worth while pursuing. All I can say is not why not DNA but Y DNA?
