I am the Australian end of a 'quirk' thread from John Q in 1670, via Knockoloe Farm etc and would be delighted to support a Y DNA check back to the Island and maybe even on to southern Ireland. From what I read here in Oz the UK groups such as mentioned are best technically to do the task ... could the one-name groups co-ordinate ? ... or best to hope it could be an IOM project because the published results would be fabulous for FH generally and IOM emmigrants particularly. Keep the idea alive please and note information on IOM site by John Quirk, IOM n'papers & Manx Connection project!!!!!!!!
