NOTE: Members of different Subgroups are not likely related, despite common surnames
Group 1a - Nineteen tightly clustered members, all with a likely common ancestor of no earlier than about 1000 ybp (years before present) at a 95% confidence rate based upon estimated mutation rates for 14 of the members at 37 STR markers. This group contains one Neely surname which is also tightly clustered and is probably modified from McNeely. All Group 1 members are confirmed (or highly likely) M222+(>DF85+>S668+>DF97+)
Group 1b - One member, reporting ancestry who migrated to Co. Mayo from Ulster. While Confirmed M222+, not closely related to Group 1A.
