Genes and Septs Reunited
Michael McManus combines documentary history and Y-DNA evidence to examine the relationship between the McManus and O’Conor families of Connaught.
History and genetics in one inquiry
Genes and Septs Reunited: History and Genetics Synthesized in the Families of McManus and O’Conor of Connaught, Ireland examines the long-standing proposition that the Connaught McManus and O’Conor families share a common origin.
Michael McManus brings historical and genealogical records together with Y-DNA evidence. The book also follows his family-history research back to Kilronan Parish, where his family lived before nineteenth-century emigration, and considers the land, social structure, famine, and dispersal that shaped that migration.
The underlying historical argument can also be explored on the McManus YDNA Project.
