- The presentation will connect the traditional genealogy of the O’Neill septs to their genetic signatures using Y STR and haplogroup markers. The focus will be on the Tyrone, McShane, Fews and Clanaboy septs and the unique DNA characteristics of this “O’Neill Variety”. In addition, the Ui Neill as descendants of Nial of the Nine Hostages and his son Eóghain (Cenél Eóghain) will be detailed. Other septs will be highlighted including the O’Neills of Leinster, Eoghanachta and Thomond and how they differentiate. Widespread testing using Big Y has greatly contributed to our current understanding.

I am a Michael John O’Neill, my Father is Michael John O’Neill, my grandfather was Michael John O’Neill and I’m told his father was Michael John O’Neill. I have no idea how far this tradition goes back but we are from Cork farmers from the Tyrone O’Neill’s.
I have just discovered this project and am gobsmacked at this information.
I alway knew our war cry and knew we were a big bunch, but I had no idea this incredible work was being done.
I will submit a test and see what comes back… anything is fascinating to me.
Thank you Sean, Dwayne and all the other O’Neill’s that have produced this work. ❤
My ancestor is John O'Neill 1674-1711
His son William O'Neill born 1700 or 1711-1766 is my 7th Great Grandfather.
O'neill king of Tara is my ancestor of 10,000 years ago of my father's side i got this information from 23&me DNA Test
Me too! Hey cuz
What is your Y-DNA subclade?
RP311 or something like that
Mine too I'm wondering I'm from central Asia
@@nadeemjan5004 well, that is basically where the aryans of old came from
I'm an O'Neill and my father was Edward "Ed" O'Neill (not the same Ed as the contributor named here) I m finding this DNA business fascinating and wished I knew earlier as I'd love to be involved if needed. My father was born in 1919 and I was born in 62. I started looking into the O'Neill clan after finding the coat of arms in my fathers papers which is of the O'Neill clan, the same as the one used in the top right corner on the introduction in this clip.
My great-grandmother was an O'Neill and her line is reputed to descend from the O'Neills of The Fews. I'm hoping to find some O'Neill cousins who are happy to get their Y-Chromosome tested with the Big Y-700 to see if our family legend is true.
Hullo creagh Sept of o'neil here. But Lithuanian grandma's second husband after the Cray was a Fewer. Is there links between the Fewers and the O'Neils of Fews?
Seems plausible
What is the family legend of your of which you speak...
Thnx in advance.
@@crayrudinyang5598 The family legend was just that we descended from the O'Neills, the "Kings of Ulster". However, without documentation, that's all it was, just a legend. Then last autumn, a 4th Cousin of mine in New Jersey turned up as a strong DNA match to me and my maternal uncle. So, we got her father to do the Y-DNA tests at FTDNA as he still carried the surname and, more importantly, the Y-chromosome. His Big Y-700 test results came in last week and the legend is now a fact. He's R-Z5254. Woohoo!! So, through my ancestor Brian O'Neill (a.k.a. Brian of the Battle of Down), King of Tyrone c.1236-60, I descend from Rory O'Connor, last High King of Ireland, and through Rory I descend from Brian Boru. At the moment, I can't tell if I descend from Hugh/Aodh who started the Fews line or a younger son of Eoghan Mór O'Neill, possibly Art of Armagh, but I'm definitely descended from Eoghan and all the O'Neill kings of Tyrone before him.
I'm afraid I couldn't tell you if Fewer is linked to the Fews line.
I came up as haplogroupe
R-L555.
Love the work.
I am an O'Neill whose ancestor John came to Wales around 1820.And we still live in the Flint area. I noticed every generation used John,Owen,and Arthur.
Indeed IAM direct line of a Sept of O'Neil Creagh. O'creghbanach Americanized thru ellison island as Cray. Some say crae is too...
I've traced our line directly back to 740 for my genealogy merit badge
Indeed There are handfuls of John's and Arthur's; a few Owens. Even took a sort of variant or Owan as a stage name... Cool wasn't aware of the owen until further digging into the O'Neils of Thomand..
Also wonder if the seed of torcail and tormand of the McLeod have anything to do with Thomand... Seems plausible as the region time and origins speaks...
My maiden name is O'Neill, I still know some of my family in Ireland. We stem from Ui Neil branch of the tree. My Uncle did a family tree when he was young it was huge. Goes back to 960AD. There are at least 6 Simon's in my family. From my Great Grandad, grandad, dad, brother, cousin and a nephew. So if you have a Simon ONeill, the higher the odds we are related.
My great grandfather was Patrick William O'Neill born on 27 June 1871 in Dublin, Ireland. He had a fallout with his family and came to South Africa via ship from Southampton in 1896. Upon arrival, he changed his surname to McCarthy (his mother's surname). He lived in South Africa until his death in 1961. We have no knowledge of his family in Ireland and would love to know more. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
18:29 About the origins in Spain/Basque country, I did a 23&me DNA test and my maternal haplogroup is HV0a and according to 23&me HV0a is most populous today (at 10% of the population) in the Basque region. Both my Mothers and Fathers family tree traces back to Niall.
Father is Mckenna. I share a common ancestor with The Uí Néill Dynasty.
Greetings....I asked a male cousin to take the 23andMe. Results came back ref Y-dna, telling him (and myself) that we were descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages. I wish to also add that we are People of Color....surname SHEPHERD, SHEPARD, SHEPPARD, etc....location: Virginia.
Lots of black O'Neals are genetic O'Neills, the deceased actor Ron O'Neal [Superfly] looks more like me with a dark tan than my actual brother. Some were from the Carribean,, where O'Neills fled, and took black wives.
You say fled, Sometimes fleeing includes chains and manacles. There is also a Protestant branch of the O'neals who owned a plantation down south, African Americans who have no Caribbean decent might share the bloodline through that bit of unpleasantness.
@@joekalista3615 unpleasantness is a pretty psychotic way to describe slavery
Well, Niall was a known slaver. I don't believe that color mattered to him though. He would trade and sell slaves regardless of color. Black, White, Asian- didn't matter to him.
Think of it as a layer cake like geologic eras sometimes recessive traits percolate up through these dna snippets.
Do you have the title of this out of print book on the O'Neil genealogy written by 'Sean's father ?
A CD of ”The Ancient and Royal Family of O’Neill” is available through Sean O’Neill at sean@oneill.ie . The cost is €20 plus P&P.
I know I'm descended from the O'Neills on my father's side through Ann O'Neill Finley. I've never had my DNA tested
Im descended through my mothers side. Im a direct descendant
The bell rings of a long line of swarthy looking nobles. Amazing how history can paint a far clear picture of ancient Europe. Amazing
Can I ask what DNA testing company will identify relationships with historical names such as Neill please? Thank you
I'm an O'Neil. Based in Canada. Originally from the Caribbean.
Today I share with you findings of my DNA origins are of the King of the O'Neill Dynasty in Northern Ireland and Scotland
...this is only part of my ancestral story ...
My Dad’s result too.
Another one here. As I find there was a couple of celtic groups in the north of Spain.
also interested in the O'Neil genealogy out-of-print book -
A CD of ”The Ancient and Royal Family of O’Neill” is available through Sean O’Neill at sean@oneill.ie . The cost is €20 plus P&P.
I’m a McCain - my nephew DNA came back O’Neill
Are there any links ? There are no contacts to the group to follow up on our family DNA ? Can anyone help ?
John Nall / Nally abt.1665 and Jane Huscolah (Married 1693 Maryland, US) (R-TCS241)
where can I find out more about R-M269 ?
I’m an O’Neill from meath🇮🇪
I have this Y variant and I am also Basque. Does anyone else have both of those?
Was he rm 269 or rm 222? Strong hug.
I just found out I have the DNA of the O'Niell family. Well, hello to a lot of family on here. I also have the DNA of King Richard the 3rd. That's an ironic mix. A lot of you know all about this. I don't...just thought it was cool. Wish my Dad was alive to see this. I'm also Portuguese from the Azores Islands.
I'm confused and would like more information about R-Z255 (Leinster) branch...?
Haha I’m a latino(Honduran) and have R-Z255 as well. No Irish as far as 23andMe Is concerned. Would love to know more too!
If you want to know about any branch, the O'Neill DNA Project is open to the public.
john o'neal where can I find this?
Some Irish ended up in Spain with the flight of the wild geese. Very strange though.
23 and me sent me here also. Tampa Florida Rl2 r- m269
23andMe said R-L20 branches from Niall of the Nine Hostages, is 23andMe correct about him being my very distant ancestor?
My Dad result too.
@@screwstontx7072 , thanks. According to 23 and me, my Dad’s is R-L2-Central Europe and Italy. M269, yes, common ancestor.
@@screwstontx7072 , hi, cousin. It great to know that we were closely related 10,000 years ago. 😆
Do you have a picture of yourself?
@@screwstontx7072, So, you do not want me to see what my cousin looks like.
Why was Hugh O'Neill mentioned as he went to Spain to train the Spanish-American Army asked from King Philip, 1600s
Not mentioned!
23andme brought me here as well, my result was r-m269! From Canada 🇨🇦
Um most people are M269😂
I’m in US, but I am a Latino, my Haplogroup is R-M269. Blood travel far my friend!
We are the Muldowneys from Mayo county and we came up and my dad is R-M269, how do we go about getting tested to find out which further down on the tree we are?
You have to get a "Big Y" DNA test. 111, 700...
Hi Sean! I'm a relative.
My DNA genetics has R-M269 R-L21 what does it mean?
Gillen Family History
This name is taken from the Gaelic word 'giolla' meaning 'lad'. This sept were of the clan of Eoghan who were a group descended from Eoghan, son of the famous 'Niall of the Nine Hostages', from whom the O'Neills take their name. They were located in Counties Donegal, Tyrone and Derry. We are in Ballina in Mayo & Derry today. 😊
My maternal grandfather was O'Neal. He didn't have any sons. So don't know how we fit in this beautiful clan. I do know I am 99.4% Irish. But was 23 and me. Not sure if I trust this result
GedMatch brought me here. I'm descended from this guy....along with thousands of others lol
Millions of others, most prolific sex machine after ghengis khan . Its no lie the ladies cant resist the irish charm lol
Is there a different meaning of spelling O'Neill with two L's and O'Neil with one L
Very interesting information, my maiden name is Bell, I paid to have my younger Brother James to take the 23 and Me test shortly after our Father James passed. Our Paternal Haplogroup is R1b - R-DF13 S521 R-CTS241.
We do know that our Paternal GGGRANDFATHER, John Bell was born in Clones County Monaghan on Feb. 2, 1841 to a James and Sallie Bell. He was baptized in the Church of Ireland. My Great Aunt, who was our Paternal Grandfather's Sister was very close to her Grandmother Bell, John Bell's widow and my Aunt told me when I was young that her Grandfather John moved back to Scotland when he was about 12 years old. He lived in Paisley there, learned his trade, tailor, joined The Order of Orange at the Loyal Lilly Lodge in Paisley. He worked as a shipboard tailor and made four or five Trans Atlantic trips from Paisley to Philadelphia in order to finally arrive in America as a Free Man. He worked as a tailor in Philadelphia where he met his Wife who was a seamstress, but they moved to Lancaster, PA and he would commute by train to work in Philadelphia. He passed in 1884. They had four children and their second Son John was my Great Grandfather.
My Brother and I have both become members of Clan Bell N.A. My Brother is testing for the Clan Bell DNA Project.
I am certain that we have Basque roots early as my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather and my Father all had dark hair and a swarthy completions and green, hazel, or blue eyes and EVERYONE in my family my Mother included are/were Rh O- blood type, as well as being shorter in stature.
One last item, our Paternal Grandmother's maiden name was McLaughlin and her Mother's maiden name was Harvey. Paternal Great Grandmother's maiden name was McVey and all of us born in America were baptized Presbyterian.
That's my exact haplogroup
Whats up family or i should say hey Cousins. R-M269 here.
Additional info...exact words...You share a paternal line with Niall of the Nine Hostages...Common ancestor: R-M269...
We’re related. I’m also R-M269 thinking if it would help to get my father brother and sister on 23&me also or not.
@@singletilltamed Neat! Must do more reading/research ref The Niall of the Nine Hostages...The O'Neill Project Team...I believe this connection is through my male SHEPHERDS line...
I also received the exact same result. I know this goes back to a time where countries as we know it didn't exist but it's a fascinating thing to reconcile as the son of Caribbean parents.
Nonsense.
@@singletilltamed Just about everyone in it from Europe is 269. It doesn't signify much at all, and certainly not descent from Niall.
23 and me also brought me here i have dna match relation to niall of the 9 hostages
M269
I am an O'Neil(l)... how can i contribute DNA?
First join the O'Neill DNA Project at www.familytreedna.com/groups/oneill/about/background and do the Y-DNA-37 test
I'm a proud O'Neill. I have DNA results from ancestry. How to I join this project?
I did a test through 23&me. I'm an O'Neill via the McSeain branch, but I have lost all my info related to the account related to the test. I still want to give what I can to help fill in the picture of our people. Should you have any meaningful contacts to any O'Neill/McSeain group studies, please email eriktheread85@gmail.com
You'll need to do a Y DNA test through familytreedna. You can also download your ancestry DNA results and upload your autosomal DNA to familytreedna for free. Ten dollars to unlock some tools they have if you want as well.
Hello family✋
According to 23andme my haplogroup is R-S14328 (R1b1a1b1a1a3a1). With a direct link to R-M269 (Which is Niall's group). But i'm pure German with pretty much typically ancestry results: 97% Ger 2,2% Scandinavian, 0,8% Broadly NWE. Can you explain this?
Prob from your Scandinavian genes.
269 is pretty much everyone in Europe. And despite what this video says, the DNA of Niall is unknown, but the FTDNA M 222 Project administrators say whatever it is, it's not M 222.
Hi, i would like to help, i live in mexico. Let me know
How does one do the Big-Y Uí Níall of the Nine Hostages, for doing my dad's family geneology it keeps telling me that there Conley (originally spelled Connelly) that we are related to Uí Níall of the Nine Hostages, but haven't linked it to Uí Níall. The farthest I have been able to go is Henry Connelly born 1585 County Armagh, Ireland. Died 1625, London England. And married a Catherine Eunice Reynolds, born 1609, Somerset, England. Died 1691 Dover, Stafford, New Hampshire.
First do the Y-DNA-37 test at FTDNA. Then upgrade to the Big Y. Also, be sure to join the M222 DNA Project and the Ireland Y-DNA Project.
@@GeneticGenealogyIrelandCannons of Donegal,Lettermacaward,are from the Ui O'Neill?
I’m R-M222 family from County Donegal my last name is Lee rumor is it used to be O’Lee
23& me said i was from this as well.i dident even know i was Irish
I’m a descendant of the O’Neilll clam
Tasty clams ???
My dad is Haplogroup RP 311 23 and me results. It says it’s from O ‘Neil.
Mines is too 😊 my paternal haplogroup is also R-p311 with 23andMe results. From Niall of the nine hostages. We share a common ancestor from 10,000 years ago! (R-M269).

Niall Maoighiallach is in my family tree he was the father of eochan a.d. 465. Im a McNeal
I need to speak to someone involved with this project anyone got a number for one of em
I have the red hand on my coat of arms what does that mean
it means we were conquered, and it may also indicate that one of your ancestors may have been elevated to the British rank of Baronet. All English Baronets have the Red Hand, it is kind of a mockery.
I looked back at your name, you probably may be an O'Hagan, in which case your ancestors were our inaugurators.
It is confusing, because Hagen is a Dutch surname.
@@johnoneal1234 yes right there and it is also Norwegian Hagen so maybe viking Raiders came with Hagen and made it O'hagen then fir some reason took the o and replaced it so they keep it to remember they where Irish but so they where able to get jobs when going to America I would like to find out .I am on my mom side
spouse to be in clan M McPherson here Dads last name was Clark
Its the Red Hand of Ulster. The north was conquered and thats their crest. Its too complicated to tell the whole story here. Just look up Cromwell.
Actually, it is the Red Hand of Clan O'Neill. The Brits stole it, just as they stole our land. All Baronets have the Red Hand on their arms, the Baronetcy was created to celebrate conquering us, as a deliberate slap in the face. No Orangeman will ever be Irish if they stay another thousand years.
Some oneils chieftains are buried in st Peter's montorio Rome the il tempietto built by Bramonte.
According to 23andme after testing my DNA, I share a common ancestor with the Ui Neill (O’Neill or O’Neal) dynasty.
I don’t know if that means I am direct descendant of the O’Neill clan/Niall of the 9 or just a distant cousin.
This is my paternal bloodline
Same
I just found out from 23 and me that this is my ancestors-M269
Y-dna....Paternal Haplogroup R-CTS4188...
Rm 269’ rl4 here
my main name was O'Brien we were told by ancestry that we were related to King Patrick ,was there a King Patrick and we were told there is a castle the O'Brien castle ?????
My great grandfather was named Gene Elliot -Nickname Red Keown .I later studied the Gaelic form is Muiredach Mac Eogain The son of Eogain Mac Néill son descendants of Nial of the Nine Hostages and his son Eóghain (Cenél Eóghain) will be detailed. The Red Hand goes back to Genesis 38:27-30 NKJV Zerah his twin brother was Pherez about 1650 BC but later in the Exodus Mered son of Ezrah son of Ethan son of Zerah marries Bithiah the daughter of the Pharaoh. These were Israelite Pharaohs a dynasty the Egyptians have covered up. 1 Chronicles 4:17-18 NKJV who also was known as Gael of Gaelic history. He was a GAEL or in Hebrew a Gaal-Goel in Hebrew which means a Redeemer. It was of the law Moses the Levite for the Israelites as well as the Jews-Judahites to marry royal cousins and raise up children to their family. Gael is a redeemer. He married the widow wife Abiah-Bithiah of 1 Chronicles 2:21-24,55 NKJV. The Irish Gaelic was so close to Hebrew. We get names like Iriel-Land and Isaiah 29 Hebrew Ariel names like Tara and in Hebrew Torah. I still believe that there were Gaelic Bibles that were burned books and writings when Gaelic was outlawed in the British Isles about 1200 AD. The Declaration of Arbroath in 1320 AD gives references to the Biblical Chronicles! ..

based on 23 and me Im Haplogroup R-P311
I know nothing of DNA... but Im assuming R-P311 comes before the branch of R-P312
But cant find much about it and what it means lol
hello great O'Neill clan ok I am a Murphy and I seen there is 3 different clans guess that's why the popularity of the name. My family left Ireland during the famine the were from ulster anyway I got dna test my father and uncle already had there's done. my y chromosome is to niall hostages of the nine. and I found we were actually removed and then back under O'Neills I believe of the fews was are exact location
my mother was Sweeney and seen O'Donnell has the same y I just think most of northern Ireland are from either dynasty the strong servrie and consider how the rest of the world was and English treatment on Ireland it's the truth only the strong did live now the I will say this and mean no disrespect to northern or southern branch but O'Donnell was the most powerfully clan of Ireland
My family are direct descendants of Niall, by his second wife Cairenn Chasdub, daughter of Sachell Balb, King of the Saxons,. the King of Britain.
🇨🇦
M269 here and im hispanic lol
Looks like that Ui Neill clan had some serious fun and partying in Spain! LOL😂😂😂. I am also Hispanic, from Colombia.
@XvX XvX We have always known we came from Spain, DNA just proves it.
The british sent irish slaves to the islands before they bought and brought africans. You have a Redleg ancestor.
Same here R-M269 but Hispanic and African
@@kiutpi 269 is practically generic. Says nothing about being O'Neill. Most of Europe is 269
I share DNA with alot of you here.

My direct ancestor was a member of the Crusaders in France. He came from Norway with his Viking friends And founded Normandy! In “1066” the crusaders took England back from the Anglo-Saxons and my last name spelling was changed to Neal! There was a Thomas Neal that was born 1530 Ireland so they may have moved back to Ireland?
As a man named Niall who has Irish and English decent I have to wonder if I'm related to him. Lol I'd be a reincarnation of sorts and that shit is weird.

Does the name O'Hagan constitute a genetic branch of the O'Neill?
Yes it does, a very important branch at that. The o hagans managed the coronation ceremonies of the oneills and guarded that site for them at tullyhogue, co tyrone. Tullyhogue means hill of the young warrior. You can visit it if you want. Its a good place to eat a picnic and chill on a lovely day. Still plenty of o hagans in the area to this day
Sorry, premature comment as he ventured to Italy to train and defend asked by the church! Died from a sword wound a week after 13.07.1616. The Day The Next True King Hugh O' Neill, My Son was born 13.07.2017. 401 year's later 🤫💯👌
So nothing??
A DNA test showed that "Wilson's" also came from Niall.
Yes. Correct. And before the o neils they were called the veneti... they are originally from Brittany and came here after the Romans finally drove them out...
I'm part of that branch.

The Crowd’s Response
5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. The Y Chromosome is the Marker of the Exilarch of the Line of King David's DNA. Jesus's cousin were ruling the throne of King David since 569 BC in Ireland. 2 Samuel 7 is the truth of this Bloodline King David was the forefather of the Irish because Tamar Teach married High King Iriel Faish in the days of King David of Israel This is parallel until the days of King Zedekiah's daughter who also closes the loop with her marriage to the King of Ireland Oilioll Olchaoin his son Giallchadh mac Oilioll Olchaoin 561- 552 BC I am of the lines of The Clan Mac Keown son of Eogain Mac Neill son of Naill of the nine hostages. Tamar of 2 Samuel 13 was the mother of the House of Ireland; Perhaps the Ariel of Isaiah 29 Iriel in Gaelic is Ariel in Hebrew. Gaal in Hebrew is also Gael in the Gaelic tongue, Torah in Hebrew is also Tara in Gaelic. still means the Law.
Their frustrated imagine the layman. Apparently descended from Nial Confusing because so many are asking for my family dna-23 & me recommendations for Haplotype fromTyrone and says we are Neanderthal - that's startling . How is that determined... and we want you to give your dna then listening to all these presentations for " rare dna subtypes" and the how and such is never explained and murky. I find the science questionable and time consuming in research. Perhaps write in descript what individuals you specifically seek, as these various Halotype presentations contradict eachother ( everyone a different theory ) and are time consuming. And of course no admins. Seen people do many dna tests. Why so quick to give away and so little clarity. I heard of people spending money on many tests to prove what really? When science is not quite ( respectfully) golden age from hours of inconsistencies I've heard from many geneticists. Not aware of O'Neil surname been in NY, US early 1800's.That's my frustration, but respect for being one of the better presentations and love to Trinity wish success.
