Kerry / Re: Griffin surname

We now known, from Y-DNA testing, that the Griffin surname in County Kerry descends from a man who left the Scottish Highlands in the late middle ages.

You can confirm whether or not your Griffin paternal line ancestry comes from the County Kerry group. centered around Castlemaine, by having Y-DNA analysis. If you fall under the R-A13315 haplogroup, your are a County Kerry Griffin.
If you've been tested by 23andme on their v5 chip, an R-S764 haplogroup result for a male from a Griffin paternal line, is a pretty good indicator that your paternal ancestors came from the County Kerry group.
