To "Hell or Connaught" was made famous by Cromwell. But even before Oliver's time there were migrations from Ulster to Mayo. One interesting one for the O'Dochartaigh Clann is the migration of Maonghaile O'Dochartaigh's descendants ( Munnelley, Monnellly, Manley) from Donegal to Ballymunnelley, Ballycastle and Cloontikilla, Mayo prior to 1585. This precedes Cahir O'Dochartaigh's rebellion and the Plantation of Ulster. It appears that, like the McDevitts, the Munnelly/Monnelley/Manley sept may prove to be another branch of the O'Dochartaigh. I have started discussions with Paul Manley investigate this connection and why they migrated to Mayo when they did. Sent from my iPad
We are looking forward to the results of your investigation. As a point of information, all Munnellys/Monnellys/Munleys/Manleys with roots in Mayo appear to be M222. We do have one participant (74163) who has ordered the DF85 test for now.
