DNA
I have tested my autosomal DNA with Family Tree DNA (FTDNA).
I have also copied the results to My Heritage and to GEDmatch.com where my kit number is T634932.
 |
I have taken a Y-DNA test and have joined the Byrne/Burns Y-DNA project on FTDNA. On the advice of the project admins there I took the Z255 SNP test which confirmed I am descended from the Leinster O'Byrnes, I upgraded to Y-700 and my confirmed haplogroup is R-BY152563. |
 |
I have tested my mitochondrial DNA and am confirmed at T1a1g. |
 |
I have tested a male cousin on the Stanley side of the family to Y-700 and his confirmed haplogroup is J-BY243. |
If you match with me click on My Ancestors to check the relevant families.
The following two links give an idea of what you can determine from Y-DNA testing, the subject is a Mr Burns (not me) but he does have a similar haplogroup. A word of warning though the ability to pinpoint locations in using DNA has been called into question by many involved in the field of genetic genealogy.
