I wonder if the genetics of this find may have some significance to the high level of alcoholism in that culture?

Niall of the Nine Hostages

Darn I already have user name. Somehow "Niall of the Nine Hostages" sounds way more fearsome than ElkGroveDan. I bet no one would mess with me then!

I remember a mathematical demonstration that (given that there are umpetyump generations intervening) anyone with any European blood whatsoever can legitimately claim to be a direct descendant of Charlemagne.

Kenetif MacLorcain (Larkin) defeated the U'Neills in the 10th century to become the first overall king of Ireland. His sons Mathgamin and Brian Boru followed him. Brian decreeded that every one take a last name. This document is in Trinity College. Some of the names that proceded from the Larkin nephews and sons were Reagan, Keller, Brian and unfortunately Kennedy. I do not believe the Campbell clans came from the U'Neills line. The MacLorcains were of Viking-Irish stock and were mainly fighting against any further Viking emigration. Kenetif was killed by a Dane and one of his sons was slain by a turncoat Callahan. Brain is considered the greatest of all Irish Kings.

I was researching my ancestors a few years ago and noticed a relative with the name of Charles Martel and felt I had heard that name before, I checked his son out and found Charlemagne. Nearly all Anglo-Saxans are related to all the crown heads of Europe and Britain. Almost all the Presidents of the United States are. One exception is Clinton, his father is not known. His motor cycle riding mother put the blame on some guy that was out of the country (Italy) when the clown prince was conceived.

Ulster-Scott here. We are also considered to be black-Irish or Irish with darker skin and hair, which was more prevalent in Northern Ireland. My Scotts-Irish ancestors came to America from Northern Ireland in the early 1700’s. They were descended from the sir-name Abney and can be traced back to marrying the daughter of Robert the Bruce.

Kinda cool doing research on your descendents. Thankfully we were not part of this motley crew.

Hah - I have Irish royal blood in me as well. Well, not "royal," exactly, but I bet they were the best horse thieves in the county...
