I have just launched a new geographic DNA project: "Oriel Septs of Ireland."
Because the surnames of Heany and Hegney (O hEighnigh in Gaelic) are listed by historians as Oriel names, and because the surname Bird, as it is used in Ireland, is a regarded as a synonym of those names, we have chosen to add the surname of Bird to our list of those eligible to join the project. We are looking primarily for Bird families who think that their ancestors may have come from Northern Ireland, especially the Counties of Fermanagh, Armagh, Louth, Monaghan, Tyrone, and south Down
If you have already been Y-DNA tested at FTDNA, there will be no additional expense involved in joining the Oriel Project. You are allowed to belong to a geographic project, in addition to your surname project.
If you have not been Y-DNA tested, you can both join the Oriel Project, and order a Y-DNA test kit, at our project web site:
https://www.familytreedna.com/public/orielsepts
By ordering through our project link, you will also be given our group's discounted price.
Or, you can just google FTDNA, do a search on Bird, and you will find our Oriel_Septs listed there.
I do not sell DNA test kits, nor do I make any money from the sale of DNA test kits. I am strictly a volunteer for the Oriel Septs of Ireland DNA Project.
Thank you,
Mary Becker
