About us
The goals of the Ely Carroll DNA project are to:
-
Encourage interest in the Ely Carroll sept, also known as Eile or Clan Cian
-
Use ancient Ely Carroll pedigrees to define Ely Carroll Y-chromosome DNA
-
Use DNA to assess the historical relationship between Ely Carroll, Dalcassians (Brian Boru), Eognachta, and Clan Colla
-
Help Carrolls to find out whether they are descended from Ely Carroll rather than Clan Colla, Northwest Irish (Niall), etc.
-
Bring Ely Carroll descendants with varying surnames - historic and non-historic - together in one place
-
Encourage participants to upgrade to Big Y
