[@jfurl5900]

So a strange boy turned up out of nowhere and just said he was the kings son ,,,,,and was accepted ? By the way I am not a descendant .

[@CandlelitTales]

Well, he had a storyteller to vouch for him. And you can always trust everything a storyteller says

[@DavidMuro-do2mz]

i was also adopted and just found out im a descendent of neill of the nine hostages

[@oldhardmanjohnson6585]

23 and Me told me Niall was my grandaddy x 80 generations ago......and carried St Patrick as a slave to Ireland......

[@CandlelitTales]

Cool!

[@rhondawhite5202]

My dad and brothers have the this connection. We are in America, having migrated here back in the 1600's from Ireland. He is a Poplin.

[@MrRickster66]

I am in America and recently found out that I am a direct descendent of Niall of the Nine Hostages. According to my Y Haplogroup M269 and amongst other genetic indicators.

[@gregahrens8220]

Isn't 80% of Western Europe R-M269, lol.

[@ArkansasRebel9361]

Are there any books or stories about Niall and clan Ui’Neill? I only found 1 on amazon.

[@CandlelitTales]

Hey Corey, the CT elves are not sure about books on this topic. The story of Niall becoming king is part of a lot of myth collections, but we don't have any that are fully about Niall or the Ui Neill clan. Sorry we couldn't be of more help and good luck 🔥🔥

[@ArkansasRebel9361]

@@CandlelitTales Well I am proud to say that I am of King Niall’s bloodline. Hopefully I can learn more about not only my Irish heritage but also the clan and sept’s to represent correctly & proudly.

[@eoghanniceallaigh5834]

I'm blood related on my mother's side , powerfull clans still in 2022

[@Paul_John_Paul]

[@user-winstonsmith]

[@ArkansasRebel9361]

I proudly share King Niall’s DNA marker, and descend from a junior branch of the Ui’Neill clan.

[@karincleary2739]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jamal_Dont_Pull_Out_The_Nine]

I’m related to him

[@MiGallagher]

Wonderful, thank you for the share

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Very much appreciated and enjoyed, all the very best wishes.

[@krautz8088]

I was unaware of who my family was for most of my life. I didn't know my mom all too well, and I didn't know my father at all and nothing about him whatsoever.
After DNA testing, I discovered that I have a match through paternal lineage with Niall, R-M269. I'm still trying to figure it out, but I am pretty sure he was my great grandfather by 160 or so generations.

[@trUth.365]

My Surname is "TUOHEY" O'Tuathaigh (meaning ruler). They were amongst the many tribes of western Ireland, septs of the Hy Niall who were descended from King Niall of the Nine Hostages. King Niall was perhaps the most famous of all Irish Kings being responsible for harassing the Roman departure from England at the foot of the Alps.

[@shirleystone7091]

My brother, Neil, shares this dna, also.

[@CandlelitTales]

I think that means you have a claim to the throne...?

[@moosestanggang]

I am a direct descendent of Niall 1 of 2000 of his closest descendants. Genetic code R-L555 related to domhal Niall meaning donald in English Donald ray Lawley II meaning world ruler and and survivor in Gaelic first name directly translates to him didn’t know until I did a 23 and me test

[@christianmattia7740]

R-S845

[@djmcneil9573]

I'm from Clan MacNeil of Barra direct descendants.
