We have results in for our latest member, whos family traces back to Dublin.
The family name changed from Corrigan to Corgan.
Kit # 171393
Patrick Corrigan, b early 1700 Dublin Ireland, marr Margaret McQuaid.
Patrick Corrigan/Corgan, 1760 Dublin Ireland, marr Polly Singleton.
James Corgan, b ca 1819/20 Union County IL, marr Louisa (Grammer) Penrod.
James Albert Corgan, 1864 Union County IL, marr Anna Mexico Jackson.
William Delmus Corgan, b 1895 Goreville IL, marr Carrie Waller.
He has a match, though not a close one, with another Corrigan family from Co Down, on
61/67 markers. This indicates a common ancestor, though that may have been over 400 years
ago.
We are hoping for a much better match with other families, especially if any Corrigans
from Dublin test.
They are both part of a group of men with a distinctive set of yDNA results that puts them
in a group associated with "North West Ireland and Lowland Scotland". We have 9
Corrigan/Carrigan families within this specific cluster, indicating an ancient common
ancestor for these Corrigans/Carrigans.
You can see all results and lineages on our project webpage.

If you have any queries regarding using yDNA as an additonal tool in your genealogical
research, please email.
