CLAN CURLEY LINKS
Athlone Ireland - Curley Central - The heart of Clan Curley, I should try to get there for a visit one day.
Irish Clans - For those who may have thought Clans are exclusive to Scotland, it's not so. \
Criol - Kyriel/Kyriell - This family may be the origin of our Irish Curleys.
The earliest recordings of the Curleys in Ireland appears to have
been M'Kerryle and M'Kirilie as well as several other variants.
Viking Remains - Viking remains have been found in Sweden and Denmark,
testing positive for SNPs above A6119. The significance of these
remains is that it demonstrates there are lineages under Z2185 and L1066 that
are considered Viking and therefore A6119 could also possibly be
of Scandinavian origin. It is becoming more
apparent there are lineages under the parent SNPs Z2185 and L1066 that are not
Celtic.
Clans of Ireland
- It would be great if some native Irish Curleys would consider registering Clan
Curley with the Clans of Ireland.
While not a requirement, I believe
it would be more appropriate for native Irish Curleys to take this on.
Norman Anglo Invasion of Ireland
FTDNA British Isles YCAII 22-23 Project - The Family Tree DNA project for
those males who match the L1066 Curley lineage. This includes
other
surnames that are related to our Curley group but more distantly. I am
also the administrator for this volunteer project.
Family Tree DNA - One of the leading companies in DNA testing. YDNA testing
is for males only and traces the paternal line back thousands of
years. This is
the type of testing used to identify the various Curley lineages and other males
who match the Central Irish Cluster. Family Tree
currently has the largest YDNA
database. They also offer autosomal testing and maternal line mtDNA
testing and ethnicity analysis however
their population database for ethnicity
matching is fairly limited at this time.
Ancestry.com - One of the more popular
DNA testing and genealogical research sites however, they do not offer YDNA
testing. In addition
to ethnicity analysis, their autosomal testing is
useful for finding relations from all ancestors within approximately the past 6
to 8 generations (approx).
