The goal is to map all MacTighernans both geneticly and geographicly. With 94 tests completed and 3 TBR,  the DNA sampling in this test is random currently from 94 MacTighernans or surname variants from around the world that at the time of testing live in eleven countries and five continents with no correlation except the same surname and the same close proximity of origin in Cos Leitrim, Sligo, Roscommon and Cavan. Like most Irish families, the deep time history of the MacTighernans is all but lost.

The DNA test is perhaps the only chance to begin to make any family connections as many of the MacTighernan families like a smaller scale of the larger Irish Diaspora have scattered to distant lands in the world and live there today. The spelling of the surname does not really matter as the historical spelling never seems to match the current spelling in many of the families so the Gaelic spelling of MacTighernan is used to cover all the variants of our surname including McKiernan. 

To date, almost all 94 tested MacTighernans that know their origins come from this small area in NW Ireland shown in green on the map on the left, 450 square miles more or less with the three exceptions, Gus, Michael (NJ) and Terry whose verbal family history states that their line is from Scotland and David (CN)'s verbal family history states that his family is from the Kilarney Lakes, Co Kerry area of Ireland. Based on the DNA study at this point in time it appears that the origins of most MacTighernans, 62 out of 94 are in Co Leitrim. Clay MacTarnaghan's family origin is in Co Antrim. The Google earth satellite image that marks the townland origin of each MacTighernan if known is at this site: http://mctiernan.com/McTmaps.htm

While Leitrim is one county, it is historically divided into North and South Leitrim with Lough Allen being the dividing line. In South Leitrim from the mid 1500s, the Irish Clan way of life was under serious threat. An increasingly powerful English administration was slowly but surely extending its influence and dominion. In a visit to Mohill in 1540, the Saxons destroyed the monastery and beheaded the guardian and several of the friars. By 1590, the English government forces were actively routing the local clans. All MacTighernans in the DNA test from Leitrim come from north Leitrim with the exceptions of Ed (NJ), [Scott (CO), Cathal, Sean-SF], Jim III and Charles whose family origins are in townlands in South Leitrim.

Philip O'Rorke, The O'Ruairc of Bréifne whose family were the past kings of Drumahaire in Co Leitrim has taken the DNA test. The O'Rorke DNA web site is  http://www.familytreedna.com/public/roark/. The O'Conor Don, Cathal Crovderg O'Conor, whose ancestors were the past high kings of all of Ireland has has also taken the DNA test. So far we do not genetically relate to either one. With the tests completed so far we 94 MacTighernans fall into 18 separate, distinct and unrelated genetic groups.

Genetic diversity equals age. The more diverse genetic make up of a population in a specific area, the older it is. In all the world, Africa has the most diverse genetic makeup. Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa has the most genetic diversity in all of Africa which is where the first humans gathered to exit to populate the rest of the world. Western Europe including Ireland has the least diverse genetic population of all areas on earth. So in Africa the population moved and in western Europe they did not, genetically speaking. The Genographic project sponsored by Nationalgeographic and IBM goes into this in great detail https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html Use my kit number to see the display, FWRFL845CH

There is no way to know for certain what the total number is for distinct genetically separate MacTighernans on a worldwide basis. At this time it would be a guess to say how many of us there would be worldwide. The below chart gives a reasonable approximation as to the individual MacTighernan density in Ireland and the main 4 countries of immigration as of 2004.

In 1659 only 4275 people lived in all of Co Leitrim of which MacTighernans were 38, 26 in north Leitrim and 12 in south Leitrim

How many MacTighernans are there now in the world ? As of 2004 the approximate total of individuals by country with surname spellings of McTiernan, MacTiernan, McTernan. It is safe to say that the real total of separate MacTighernan families is less than these numbers These numbers exclude the DNA tester and their related family members if known

In the 11th century two MacTighernan families were noted in Irish history as chiefs, Lord McTernan of Tullyhunco, Co Cavan and the McTernans of Co Fermanagh. Their lines may well be extent at this point in time. In recent history, at least since the famine years, most of the MacTighernans in Ireland are found in Co Sligo and Co Leitrim. The historical family origins of the majority of the DNA testers are in Co Leitrim. How we might connect to them or to each other is very difficult to prove as written records in Ireland usually start at around the 1850s going no further back in time.

The McTernans of Co Fermanagh may have disappeared and there are no known descendants of the other two 19th century historically well known MacTighernan families from Rockfield and Tullyhunco listed below. The seat of the Tullyhunco MacTighernan family for many hundreds of years was Cruacan mic Tigearnain where The O'Rourke was inaugurated Prince of the Bréfny. It is now called Croaghan, lying six furlongs [3/4 mile] northerly of the village of Killeshandra in the barony of Tullyhunco in Co Cavan. The MacTighernan castle ruins is at this web site: http://mctiernan.com/castle.htm  In Irish history the Rockfield McTernans were part of the landed gentry which translates to being well off and being able to send the kids off to boarding schools.  One went to medical school in Paris and ended up a surgion in HMS Naval service seeing action in the War of 1812 in the Chesapeak Bay and also being on the island of St. Helena when Napoleon died.

According to John C. McTernan's recent book titled Sligo Families, vol II,  Leet's Directory (1812-1814) listed three McTernan 'seats' or residences, namely that of Con at Rockfield [noted above], James of Leonagh and Hugh [ T group baseline ] at Mount Allen in Co Roscommon whose family was originally from Sweetwood townland in Co Leitrim.

A recumbent tombstone in Killargue old cemetery behind the chapel bearing the family coat-of-arms, is inscribed with the names of Farrel McTernan, 1752--1818 and his wife Mary Dolan, 1752--1798. Farrel is the given name of the earliest known ancestor of Hugh McTiernan (Bos) family line who is in the T2 DNA Group.

The Chapel of Creevelea was the traditional burial place of the McTernans of Rockfield, Mount Allen and Heapstown [and Sheskin] where large recumbent flagstones mark their final resting places. In close proximity another memorial links the families of O'Rourke and McTernan and is inscribed as follows: Here lyeth the bodye of Hugh O'Roirk and Catherine McTernan who departed this life May 22, 1721. This is the mysterious gravestone that has the symbols of playing cards, heart, spade, diamond and club along with the etching of a cat which in O'Ruaric history is supposed to have awaken him from a nap in a pasture preventing him from being captured by enemies. The foot of the McTernan Achievement at left states: The McTernan coat of arms hereby illistrated is officially documented in Burke's General Armory. The original description of the Arms [at left] is as follows: Two lions pass., GU. When translated the Blazon also describes the original colors of McTernan Arms as: Ermine; two red lions walking. Above the shield and helmut is the crest which is described as: A Red Griffin Standing, Green Wings Raised.

This info can be complex so please read the headers and footers in all the following grids to make it easier to understand

The 18 separate, distinct and different MacTighernan DNA groups start with the letter T which is just a naming convention as each of the DNA groups are in all ways equal, none being more pure than the other.

The ancestors of the two McTernan families from Leonagh in Co Leitrim, Rory's from Sweetwood in Co Leitrim & Mountallen, Co Roscommon and mine from Sheskin, Co Leitrim all of whom are in the T Group are buried in the Abbey of Creevelea, Co Leitrim. Rory's earliest known ancestral home is in Sweetwood, Co Leitrim and then in Mountallen Townland in Co Roscommon which has the date 1671 etched in the fire place mantle which implies the year of construction of their family home.  From Mount Allen the family moved to Heapstown, Co Sligo.  John C. McTernan [T3a], the well known Co Sligo arthur and retired Chief Librarian of Co Sligo in his book Sligo Families II writes that the Mount Allen / Heapstown McTernan family originally came from Sweetwood, Co Leitrim and relate to the Leonagh, Sheskin and Rockfield McTernan families. Three of these four families are buried at the Abbey of Creevelea with the Rockfield McTernans whose male line has become extent buried in their family vault at Brockley Cemetery, Parish of Lewisham, Kent, England.

Relationship of the DNA Groups to each other: The T and T3 Group baselines only have 16 out of 25 DYS markers that match. More than 1/3 of the markers do not match resulting in a 9 loci pattern mutation event difference. The T2 Group baseline has an 8 loci difference to the baselines of both the T Group and the T3 Group. Philip O'Rorke, The O'Ruairc of Bréifne has a 9 loci mutation event difference with the baselines of the T and the T2 Groups but only a 7 loci mutation event difference with the T3 Group baseline. The O'Conor Don has a 21 / 25 match to the T3a baseline. If you are in one DNA group you do not genetically relate to any other MacTighernan in any other DNA Group.

Those in the baselines for each of the 18 separate MacTighernan DNA groups are a perfect 25 / 25 genetic match to each other in their group

Each DNA Group is of equal standing. Each group's baseline is where all in that group started.  The baselines of the 18 distinct DNA groups form automatically when 2 or more MacTighernans genetically match each other perfectly, 25 / 25 then they become the baseline of that specific group.  Matches of 23 or 24 out of 25 are in that group just not in the baseline.

Distance 1: 24 / 25 Probability of a close relationship is very high. You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male [and close proximity of origin] you mismatch by only one 'point' on only one marker. For most closely related and same surnamed individuals, the mismatch markers are usually either DYS 439 or DYS 385 A, 385 B,389-1 and 389-2 from our first panel of 12 markers, and on the following from the second panel of 13 markers: DYS #'s 458 459 a 459b 449, 464 a-d, which have shown themselves to move most rapidly.

Distance 2: 23 / 25 Probably related. You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male [and close proximity of origin] and you mismatch by two 'points' among the 25 markers tested. The probability of a close relationship is good, however your results show mutations, and therefore more time between you and the other MacTighernan.

Distance 3: 22 / 25 Probably not related. You share the same surname (or a variant) but are off by 3 'points' or 3 locations on the 25 markers tested.  The following 2 charts show matches that are close but yet still outside of the threshold to match.

DNA kit numbers at the bottom are in Italic, other numbers are YOB.  All townlands above are in Co Leitrim unless otherwise noted. Last row is tester's location at the time of the test. Ancestors in the light colored row in the above grid were born c. 1800. A ** in the above grid are a perfect DNA match to each other. * = immigrant

The symbol "<" is an event that occurred before that year and a ">" is an event that occurred after that year, e.g. <1800 means born before 1800
