Hi gang, It seems that I lie, in the M222 tree below S668, amongst a group containing several Cenel Conaill surnames (whereas the main O Maolmhuaidh family belongs to Cenel Fiachach.) I was wondering if there might possibly be some connection between my name and the C.C. surname O Maoldoraidh, which is apparently anglicized as both Muldory and Mulroy. 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. I hope the layout I have used is intelligible.)
