You can be confident they are M222+ but as for S668 there is nothing like enough data to make a prediction and its an open question at the moment how predictable it will turn out to be in the longer term.

I have found several instances of alternation between Mulroy and Mulloy/Malloy in other families. > I have found a couple of Mulroys (in Ancestry.com only) whose haplotypes are closer to mine than any Molloys (at 46 markers, again in Ancestry only). > I have listed out the relevant haplotypes below in the hope that someone might tell me whether there is anything at all there to suggest that these Mulroys are likely to belong under M222, or even S668. A long shot, I know, but I want to follow up any lead that presents itself. > > (The values are as given by Ancestry – no conversion to FTDNA standards.
