Sources

DNA

  • Y-Chromosome haplogroup R-M222 R-M269 This is the ancestral lineage of the Uí Néill and Connachta dynasties.
  • Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup V18 This lineage attains its highest frequency (about 50 percent) in the Skolt Saami of Scandinavia, a group of hunter-gatherers who follow the reindeer herds seasonally from Siberia to Scandinavia and back. However, the Skolt Saami population has a lower diversity compared with that observed in West Europe, making it likely to have been introduced into this population within the past several thousand years.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Richard or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
  • Richard Devlin: Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 37 markers, haplogroup r-m269, FTDNA kit #B216114 + Y-Chromosome Test 300000 markers, haplogroup R-M222
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • Richard Devlin: Mitochondrial DNA Test Other, haplogroup V18
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage (beta) of DNA with Richard:

The Irish Roots Diaspora Team would be the best team for me I think since most of my Irish ancestors came to America, I can try to connect them to Ireland.

Hello, Richard, I would be interested in trying to help with the Wales project. Nearly all the more ancient among those of my ancestors whom I have been able to trace were Welsh people. The Welsh seem to have been particularly good at keeping tabs on their foreparents. Perhaps the fact that the Welsh used to use patronymics instead of permanent surnames has something to do with it.

What should I do next?

Richard,

I applied to the Irish Google group. I like to join. I haven’t heard about joining it as of yet. I found stickers to put on my profile stating I have Irish ancestors. Just want to make sure I in Irish group correctly.

Hi,

The Global Cemeteries Project is currently undergoing our member check-in and wanted to verify that you are still active and interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Cemetery Teams? If not, is there a particular Team or area you are interested in participating with? I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!

We use Google Groups for internal project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup for access feel free to submit a join request and we will get that approved as quick as possible. We also ask that members check their followed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (CEMETERIES) so you don't miss any discussions in G2G.

Last, but not least, we would like to thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and let you know that any ideas or suggestions for improvement you may have for the Global Cemeteries Project would greatly appreciated!

I look forward to hearing form you soon!

Hello Richard,

In our locality, St Patrick's Day is normally seen as another good day for drinking (green?) beer and having a good time. Covid-19 has cast a dark shadow. Steve.

Hello Richard.

I would like to join the Irish Counties sub-team of the Irish Roots project. My specific interest is finding out more about my ancestors who migrated from County Cavan (i.e. James Jones) to South Australia in 1855.

Kind regards, Steve Thomas.

Richard, your Felix Devlin (Devlin-1689) had a son Patrick born 1933 but my Felix Devlin had also a son Patrick but he born in 1893. So we can´t merge Elizabeth O'Neill as the spouse of your Felix and mother of your Patrick. The previous merge we have done must also be wrong.

But I believe that we are in the right path. Would you like to discuss this privately by email? We can exchange some information on our Devlins before doing public our research.

Hello Richard,

Sorry but I had that source and family wrong. She did die in 1888. I removed the source. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Hello Richard, I would like to join the Irish project as I am in the process of entering information onto Wikitree on some 3,000 Jephson's and that includes many in or from Ireland particularly the area around Mallow, Pass of Kilbride, Molanstown, Tintern Abbey, Dublin, Trinity College, Carrick, Kilbixy, Limerick and others. I have so far entered data on just over 1,000 Jephson's going back to the 1500's so I have a way still to go, but if I joined now, it might give me a chance to (a) learn about your work and (b) contribute to the project.. Can you give me some guidance on where I might start? Many thanks. Chris Jephson

Hello, Richard! I am the great great granddaughter of Frank Devlin. I believe Frank is George Devlin's brother which would make us first cousins 3x removed I think. I would love to collaborate and find out more about our family!
