The primary goal of the project is to help project members find out where their patriline Driscoll great*-grandfather was from in Ireland. We are tracing out Driscoll paternal lineages. Our means to achieve that is by collecting and analyzing Y DNA and finding matches and clustering results accordingly. We look first at Y STR data, within the umbrella context of Y SNP data for further guidance.

Our secondary goal is to contribute to research on the Corca Laidhe and the role of the Driscolls in this ancient kingdom. This includes the exploration of the deeper origins of the Driscolls in the context of Cork and Ireland history, and consequentially prove (or refute) some ancient Irish history texts. Our means of doing this is to keep abreast of the relevant haplogroup research that can shed light on Driscoll origins. Driscoll work is a subset of the work of the Corca Laidhe project.
