Irish Type III Home Page

Here we discuss the R1b haplogroup and various clusters within it including the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH). A brief explanation of the Irish Type III cluster is given, definitive STRs and SNPs together with its Origins and Age

Results for Irish Type III

These three pages that show the STR marker values found for members of the cluster, their Spread and SNP markers found for the cluster.

Origins of the Irish Type III cluster

A table showing the Irish counties from which the cluster originated which are then summarised in a Counties map of Ireland

Surnames in the Irish Type III cluster

As the Irish Type III is the signature of the Dal gCais sept, it is dominated by surnames such as O'Brien, Hogan, Casey and Kennedy, but there are many other surnames found to have these markers.

      º Frequency This page shows every Surname found and how often it has occurred in the database

      º Notes For some Surnames, additional notes show possible origins or reasons for that name being Irish Type III.

Walk The Y

Thomas Krahn ran a project at FTDNA to find new SNPs. This page shows how it has found the defining SNP for the Irish Type III cluster.

Big-Y Testing

FTDNA is now using NGS (Next Generation Sequencing)to find new SNPs. This page shows how Big-Y has found new SNPs and branches for the Irish Type III cluster.
