We have new results in for the Corrigan/Carrigan yDNA Project.
Our newest member is part of a group of 4 men tested to see if they could determine
whether they were descended from three brothers, the sons of Patrick Corrigan b 1785 in
Ireland.
Their paper trails led them to believe they were related, and they have used yDNA testing
to confirm or eliminate this relationship.
Our latest family are on the line of;
Patrick Corrigan, b 1785 Ireland, marr Rose Ann Folun.
Patrick Corrigan Jr, b 1816 Co Mayo Ireland, marr Mary Riley.
James Peter Corrigan, b 1853 Dixon Lee Co Illinois, marr Margaret Ellen Dineen.
Joesph Corrigan.
With 37 markers results in for all men we have discovered that Kits 98149 and N54927 match
exactly at 37 markers and are descended from 1 brother.
They differ from Kits 104447 and 99650 on 2 markers.
Kit 104447 and 99650 are descended from the 2 other brothers and only have 1 mismatch
between them.
At 37 markers a mismatch of 1 would indicate a tightly related relationship, and a
mismatch of 2 indicates related.
So it would appear that the yDNA has supported the paper trail and these 4 men are all
related.
Lineages of the other 3 men are;
Kit # 98149
Patrick Corrigan, b 1785 Ireland, marr Rose Ann Folun.
