Some deeper research indicates the OSheas of which Pierre seems so closely connected with: over in Dingle
were ancient Fir Bolgs:......whom I have mentioned before:
were Celts of lower southern England.............who invaded Ireland.......
and were themselves essentially Belgic Celts originally.
THe DNA supports this theory so far.
What is of more interest is that some of the OSheas joined in service of the Vikings of Waterford and moved to Tipperary.
This takes that DNA profile and puts it on the other side of Ireland and puts it into connection with the Vikings.
This allows more greatly for a potential transfer of a kin into Viking transport circles
and or
shifting to Brittany.......
Or indeed it could just be a fluke that one ancient Fir Bolg kin ended up in Ireland, while others stayed in southern England or Wales and still others in Brittany..........and others could have been swept up into the Viking culture and migration paths
The question of how Seyers or Sayers get there in Dingle is slightly more vexing......
The name is found strongly in Dublin a Viking settlement.
Some historical references link Sayers and Searson to an ancient Irish clan type name
But John Searson in 1770Ad emigrated from Wales to Killea Ireland.......and his children were associated with Tipperary.........same place as the later Sears.......
The Searsons like many with a Sire type name were shoemakers.
This lineage migrated to Ontario Canada to become the Sersons.......while still others migrated to the USA
There is some confusion as to whether or not this Searson was truthfully from Wales or stopped at Wales as there is oral history of a German background...........which would fit the LeSire and LeSueur name.
So the question remains outstanding if anyone named Sayre or Seyers or Sears or Searson was legitimately Irish in origin.........
