Irish Eyes Newsletters

From time-to-time I communicate any News I glean about the Irish Type III cluster of genetics in general to those who I have identified as being members of the cluster. I do this in the form of an email.

Past issues of the Irish Eyes Newsletters can be accessed from this webpage by making a selection in the right-hand column.

I always welcome articles of interest to members, success stories, tips and tricks - in fact anything that you think will add to our experience of genealogy and DNA in general.

These Irish Eyes emails are sent to you as you are a member of the R1b1b2a2* DNA cluster called "Irish Type III".

If you do not wish to receive any further bulletins, please email me and I will remove you from the distribution list.

What's New

I have run a new calculation of the age of our cluster using a set of 181 37-marker haplotypes and a second set of 81 67-marker haplotypes.

These result is 993 years and 966 years respectively ... certainly about the time of Brian Boru!

A further run omitting the variable markers, 385, 389, 459, 464 and CDY resulted in a time of 1086 years with an error of ±20%.
