Genes and Septs Reunited

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.
