Our new member can trace back to Co Mayo, here is his direct male line; Kit A00001 James Corrigan, b 1828, Burris, Manulla, Mayo, Ireland, marr Mary Mitchell Michael Corrigan, b 1852, Mayo, Ireland, marr Mary McDermott Joseph F Corrigan, Sr b 1895 Pittsburgh, Pa, marr Helen Kirchner He has no close matches in the group as yet, and his results indicate he is part of the R1b subgroup "R - North West Irish Type". (R1b is the main genetic haplogroup for Ireland, reaching up to over 90% in some areas.) Our new member has been placed in the "Unmatched R1b NW Irish Type Group" until he has a close match. We have 6 Corrigan members who appear to be in this R1b - subgroup, with 3 from Co Mayo and 1 from Co Roscommon. Three of these members are in a tighter group indicating they shared a common ancestor within the last few hundred years. You can see all results and lineages for the group on our new website; http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/corrigan/results Regards Frances Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
