Oriel Septs of Ireland Project- O Deehan, Deehan
I have just launched a new geographic DNA project: "Oriel Septs of Ireland."
Because the surname of O Deehan (O Diochon in Gaelic) is listed by historians as "In Oriel it is 'O Diochon, see Deehan," we have chosen to add Deehan to our list of those eligible to join the project. Because the area of the Kingdom of the Oriel was in Counties Armagh, Fermanagh, Louth, Tyrone, Monaghan, and south Down, we are primarily interested in families who might have come from that area. We will also accept Deighans who might have come from that area.
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 Deehan or Deighan, 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,
