Thanks Paul. There are only one or two other McBrides in the M222 group but there a number of others who are m222+ or NWI modal in the surname project. My nearest match is a distance of 7 at 67. Supposedly the first McBride was descended from the Dohertys so I wonder if most m222+ McBrides might be df97+ and not s588+.

This surname was formerly found in many parts of Ireland, notably in the North, where it is still common under the anglicised form of MacBride, having been shortened in the spoken language to Mac 'a Bhríghde, for which *compare with* Mac Giolla Bhuidhe below. --- Regards -Paul (DF41+) On Fri, Nov 15, 2013 at 7:42 PM, Robert McBride wrote: > Just received my Chromo2 results and my terminal snp is s588. > > Earliest known ancestor Arthur McBride, lived Rampark, Cooley peninsula, > died aged 92 in 1879 in Dundalk, County Louth > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
