THIS COULD BE YOUR KIRWIN DNA!                                                                                

NOTE: Genetic differences are noted in red.

*R1b1 is the most common Haplogroup in Europe, "The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago ( Aurignacian culture). Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals."

** "E3b (E-M35) was one of the Y haplogroups that was common among the Neolithic farmers from the Middle East who first brought agriculture into Europe about 9000 years ago ... E3b1a2 is found to be at its highest frequency worldwide in the geographic region corresponding closely to the ancient Roman province of Moesia Superior, a region that today encompasses Kosovo, southern Serbia, northern Macedonia and extreme northwestern Bulgaria." Eastern Africa is said to be the probable place of origin. Perhaps Thracian soldiers in the Roman Armies invading Ireland introduced this DNA pool, which is very unusual in Ireland?

[1] These two results compare the DNA of descendants of two "brothers" who were raised as the sons of Patrick Kirwin (click on the link at the top of the page for charts for Patrick Kirwin and more information). The descendant families collaborated in DNA testing because Francis (Frank) Marion Kirwin was born five months before Patrick and Martha married, thus we knew it was possible that Patrick was not Frank's biological father. The results have indeed proven this to be the case as the brothers have five DNA mismatches.
