Thank you John for the link to the very fine Clan Colla DNA project site. Your comments overall have stimulated me to try to obtain Larkin samples from the Oriel area to see how closely they match our Hy Many M-222 haplotypes. If you come across any such individuals, I hope you will refer them to our project. http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/larkin/ Thx, Brad --------- Subject: Re: [R-M222] Larkin DNA Project - Ancestral Parish Sampling ontheShannon River Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2011 22:52:35 -0400 (EDT) Here's a link to what they call the Clan Colla DNA project. _http://www.peterspioneers.com/colla.htm#modal_ (http://www.peterspioneers.com/colla.htm#modal) The modal presented is not M222. And I'm not sure they captured the line of the Maguire chieftains. There are a large number who do not match this in the Maguire FTDNA project. Those Maguires however are not M222 either. John
