We have a member of our DNA project with the last name Cyrs.......
Those of you who tracked with me while I was searching back in time for links to the Irish Seers will enjoy this news.
It turns out this Cyrs is a PERFECT 27 marker match to 3 last names:
Keane
Riney
Bryan
ALL from Munster originally: home of the O Sullivans
and
later Kenmare Ireland
There isnt a shadow of a doubt all of these families have the identical ancestor within recent times if not ancient times.
As many of you know: Irish surnames often depended not on genetics: but on marriages and on which clan you supported during battle.
The Rineys were said to have been O Neills from the north:
but the DNA says its more likely they supported O Neill against his old genetic kinfolk Brian Boru: and thus in some cases were called O Neills from then onwards.
And we care about this because:
Kenmare was the reigning capitol of control of the O Sullivans......
And what do we find in Kenmare O Sullivans?
Seer O Sullivans......the only place in the world
I dont have the full family tree of this Cyrs carrying Irish DNA......but I do believe they perceive themselves as French Cyrs.
Clearly they actually carry Southern Irish Type 2 DNA
I am awaiting the tree to see more clearly:
if a tree can be made back to Acadia
it would still be feasible:
irish were at least 5% of Acadians...mostly in the guise of being French hired soliders..
and intermarried often with them and with one Cyr lady for sure........later died:...the kids may well have used the Cyr name instead.
Otherwise we may have in hand the very first known DNA sample of an Irish Seer O Sullivan!
