The
Pedigree of Ghallchobar back to Father Adam
A new addition to the HISTORY
SECTION shows the pedigree of Aedh Og Uá Gallchobhair, who
was the last known senior representative of the clann in the
later 17th century, back to father Adam.
The pedigree is taken from several
sources, namely the Annals of the Four Masters, O'Hart's
pedigrees, and other historical documents. I will be adding new
information to the pedigree from an historical perspective as
time allows.
To go directly to the pedigree pages, click

•**BYU Professor Reveals Family History From DNA
BYU NEWSNET - For those who seem to hit a dead end in their genealogy, a BYU professor is working to fix this problem with a prick of a needle. Professor Scott Woodward is using DNA from blood that's being collected and analyzed to create a map of about 250 genetic markers. After collecting enough data, a supercomputer will then create a matrix of all those genes and the historical data from the donated family trees. Woodward says he will then be able to identify the genes residents carried during any timeframe in any country. |

•**LDS Church-Produced Booklet Could Make Genealogy Easier
STANDARDNET - A new pilot project being developed at the LDS Family History Library is hoped to vastly improve and streamline the way beginners do genealogical research.
An easy to follow, step-by-step research booklet on Danish genealogical records is being finalized and tested by staff members and volunteers at the library. The booklet is titled; "Denmark -- A Beginner's Guide to Library Research 1814-Early 1900s."

•**DNA Study Traces Europeans Ancestry
WASHINGTON (AP) - Four out of five of the men in Europe shared a common male ancestor that lived as a primitive hunter on a wild continent some 40,000 years ago, researchers say.

•**European Common Ancestors Found
THE IRISH TIMES - Researchers have found that more than 95 per cent of all European males can trace their ancestry back to one of just 10 individuals.

A new genetic study indicates that only about 20 percent
of European males descended from Neolithic farmers who dwelled in settlements like
this one at Skara Brae, located in the Orkney Islands, Scotland.

•**The Human Family Tree: 10 Adams and 18 Eves
Geneticists, by tracing the DNA patterns found in people throughout the world, have now identified lineages descended from 10 sons of a genetic Adam and 18 daughters of Eve. The human genome is turning out to be a rich new archive for historians and prehistorians, one whose range extends from recent times to the dawn of human existence.
Biologist Edward O.
Wilson mused that a new basis for spiritual values might be found -- not in the usual religious sources but in what he sees as the inspiring story of human origins and history.
