I found the O'Hara of Sligo pedigree on Wikipedia (note: some of the Sligo O'Hara are M222+): Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh (665.5., pp. 654–665) gives his pedigree as: Eaghra Paiprigh, from whom are Ui Eaghra, s. Saorghus s. Béac s. Flaithgheas, from whom are Clann Flaithgheasa, s. Taichleach (aforementioned) s. Ceann Faoladh s. Diarmuid s. Fionnbharr s. Bréanainn s. Nad Fraoich s. Fidhsheang (or Finnéan, or Idhéan, or Fidhean, or Iodhan) s. Fiodhchuire, from whom are Ui Fhiodhchuire, s. Airtchearb s. Nia Corb s. Loí, from whom are Luighne, s. Cormac Gaileang s. Tadhg. This presents pedigree copied by MacFirbis has the Luighne are a sub-set of Gaileang. The O'Gara (also m222+) also claim descent from Saorghus s. Béac. (Other pedigrees have the O'Hara descending from a younger brother of Saorghus s. Béac.) It would be interesting to see where the SNPs of the O'Hara or O'Gara stand. > > > I note Fr Walsh pointed out an association between the people of Gaileoin and Luighne in Meath and Connacht.
