Do You Descend from Niall?

Oxford Ancestors, U. of Oxford have conducted DNA tests on men in Ireland and New York to test for genetic links to the Irish warlord, Niall.

The Niall line -- also Uí Néill or O’Neill -- ruled Ireland between the 7th & 9th centuries.

If your surname is O'Gallacher, Boyle, O'Doherty, O'Connor, Cannon, Vevlin, MCaul, Egan, or O'Reilly, you could be connected to this family!
