    Known to generations of Dublin schoolkids as Niall of the Nine Sausages. In my 4th class (= 6th grade to Americans) we could relate to this ancestral character because among us we had some of our own surreptitious sausage-takers, one of whom turned out to be an endlessly hungry kid called Niall. While all else that we learned about our early history fades from memory, some things stick.

    Niall "Noígíallach", or in English, Niall of the Nine Hostages, was a legendary High King of Ireland and the ancestor of the Uí Néill dynasties that dominated the northern half of Ireland from the 6th to the 10th centuries.

    Remember when there was all those articles claiming M222 'came from' Niall? That was pure sloppiness and ignorance. He may have possessed it but he is not ancestral to it, M222 is like 4,000 years old. How they could prove what Niall's genetic signature is, is by getting a large group of testers who have surnames which are purported to descend from different sons of Niall and find their common mutation (terminal SNP). It would be even better if they could get people purported to be descended from Niall's own ancestors and find links there to clarify the tree. This is perfectly possible as we have very specific assignments of ancient genealogical figures in Dalcassian and Eoghanacht projects on Familytreedna (going back to 200AD). The "O'Neill" family which became powerful in Ulster post the Norman invasion are descended from the shadowy Áed in Macáem Tóinlesc and likely usurped the name for political purposes, having no genuine genealogical connection to the ancient Uí Neill and DNA shows this. If there's anyone out there doing genuine technical analysis of the Uí Neill pedigrees and trying to develop congruence with the genetic tree I would be highly interested. I haven't seen it yet though.

    Tell me everything you know about Niall Noígíallach:
    I'm sorry, but I do not have any information about a person named Niall Noígíallach. It is possible that you have misspelled the name or that this person is not widely known or significant enough to be mentioned in the sources of information that I have been trained on.
    If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
    Tell me everything you know about Niall of the Nine Hostages:
    Niall of the Nine Hostages was a legendary Irish king who is said to have ruled in the 4th or 5th century. According to tradition, Niall was the son of Eochaid Mugmedón, a previous king of Ireland, and was known for his military prowess and his ability to conquer territory. He is also said to have had several wives and many children, and his descendants became known as the Uí Néill dynasty, which dominated Irish politics for several centuries.
    Niall's legend is intertwined with the history of Ireland, and he is revered as a national hero in the country. However, it is important to note that the stories about him are largely mythological and may not be historically accurate. Many of the details about his life and accomplishments are found in Irish folklore and legendary accounts, rather than in reliable historical sources.
