We used
www.familytreedna.com and recommend at least 37 markers be done for comparison,
and some say you may as well do 67 markers while you are at it. There was a summer sale
going on, but it may have ended 30 June which is only about 2 more hours where I live.
Check the website and you'll see there is a Cavanaugh/Kavanagh (etc.) surname study.
We are trying to find Shretagle on a map. Carolyn mentioned it to me in an email once. It
has several spellings. I was surprised by the number of Cavanagh/Kavanagh families in the
1901 census. We've actually been to Ballina, but were looking for Cafferty and McGuire
connections at the time (not having done the DNA testing yet, so didn't know our
Cavanaghs were also from Co. Mayo yet). It will be interesting to see who you match in the
surname DNA project.
