The MacTighernan DNA Test
McTernan / McTiernan / MacTiernan
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 88 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, 59 out of 88 are in Co Leitrim. 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 88 MacTighernans fall
into 16 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 ? 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.

Acording 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 16 separate, distinct and
different
MacTighernan DNA groups are labeled
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.

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.

The Great Unsolved MacTighernan Mysteries
2. Understand the O'Rourke and McTernan connection in the Chapel of Creevelea as it 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. Tie one of the future DNA testers to The O'Ruairc of Bréifne whose family were the past kings of Drumahaire in Co Leitrim
3. Tie one of the DNA testers to the James McTernans, of the Rockfield McTernans a British naval surgeon who was in the squadron which protected St. Helena during the residence there of Napoleon, and was present on the island at the death of that distinguished, but unfortunate monarch in 1821. In historical documents the Rockfield McTernans and the Heapstown McTernans [ Rory's line in the T group baseline ] are called kinsmen and are related via the maternal line with the paternal link still unknown.
4. Understand the meaning of the 4,000 year old Cairn located on Rory's Heapstown family estate. What might be the connection to Rory's McTernan family who are in the T Group baseline.
5. The McTernan School: located in Waterbury, CT. In 2005, St. Margaret's-McTernan school changed its name to Chase Collegiate School. The new name honors the Chase family, which helped to found both St. Margaret's and the McTernan School. Charles McTernan from Foxbourgh, MA founded the school. Charles' son Donald married and lived in France having two daughters. Male line may descend from Charles' uncle, Patrick, 1863--, who was born in Boston. This family immigrated to the Boston area from Co Leitrim. Long shot for DNA match.
6. Private Patrick McTiernan, --2-1858, service number 3755 Private in the 34th Foot (Cumberland Regiment) was wounded in the final attack on the Redan in the Crimean War and also served in the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Awarded the Indian Mutiny Medal: The Indian Mutiny Medal was a campaign medal approved in 1858, for issue to officers and men of British and Indian units who served in operations in suppression of the Indian Mutiny. He died along the Gangis River in Februsay 1858. His Army records state that he was from Co Leitrim and his wife's name was Jane. To what family does he belong
7. Private John McTiernan, --6-3-1876, Private in the 88th Foot (1st Cannaught Rangers) fought in the Indian Mutiny of 1857 in the battle of Central India and awarded the Indian Mutiny Medal. Central India battle: January - June 1858. Awarded to all those who served under Major-General Sir Hugh Rose in actions against Jhansi, Kalpi, and Gwalior. Also awarded to those who served with Major-General Roberts in the Rajputana Field Force and Major-General Whitlock of the Madras Column, between January and June 1858. To what family does he belong ?
8. McTiernan, --<1911, a soldier in the British Army serving in India who married a girl named Susan from Co Tipperary about 1894. They had 2 children, Eveleen, 1897--, born in Co Tipperary and Patrick, 1895--, born in India.
9. Whereabouts of the McTernan Stone, an excessively heavy round stone thrown by Thomas McTernan known as Long Tom from Ardvoley, the grandfather of John-Rev in the T Group baseline. The stone thereafter was known as the McTernan Stone. The Stone lies now in the area of Killavoggy.
10. Tirmactiernan, Co. Leitrim on the banks of the Shannon/Erne canal system in South Leitrim. About 7.1 KM from Carrick on Shannon. Why was it named Tirmactiernan and any connection to any in the DNA test.
11. What might be our connection to Rathmactiernane, a townland in Killoran parish, Co Sligo listed in the Hearth roll of 1665 with Cahill McTanist?
12. A horse by the name of MacTiernan is racing in Dublin for the 2010 to 2012 season. He is running well, previously owned by Christine Kiernan. Why did she name the horse MacTiernan ?
13. Cathal Mac Tigernan was King of West Connacht... died 1059... which means he predates the O'Rourkes. Áed in Gai Bernaig, King of Connacht from 1046 to 1067, had invaded and conquored Maigh Seóla in 1051, blinding its king. Cathal mac Tigernán is the next ruler of the kingdom recorded, but only upon his death in 1059.
14. So far none of the MacTighernans genetically match either The O'Ruairc or The O'Conor Don
15. The pamphlet written in 1845 by James MacTernan, <1815--1855, of the Mount Allen McTernans that settled at Heapstown, in Co. Sligo entitled: "An Address to my Fellow Countrymen", in which James claimed descent from Tiernan O'Rourke, Prince of Breffni. Found by John C. McTernan. This James McTernan also invented a new breed of horse called the Buckshot Chestnut. This is Rory MacTiernan's family in the T Group baseline.
16. The McTernan Street in Cambridge, MA, USA formerly Lake St. right outside of County Boston. This is Myles McTernan's family: Te DNA Group
17. McTernan Road, Tinderry, NSW, Australia 2626: is named after the pioneering McTernan family of the area, descending from Hugh and Mary McTernan of Michelago of which Scott (AU) is a descendent in the Ta DNA Group
18. Origin of McTernan Place, Worrigee, NSW, Australia 2540: is probably named after Barney McTernan, Hugh's son who lived down there and had a stagecoach business of which Scott (AU) is a descendent in the Ta DNA Group
19. Origin of McTiernan Close, Wilsonton, QLD, Australia 4350: probably named after Sir Edward McTiernan who relates to Leo McTiernan in the T3 Group baseline
20. McTiernan Way, a road in downtown Minto named on 9-2-2013 by the Village of Minto, New Brunswick, Canada after the long history of the family in fire prevention. This is Michael (CN)'s family in the T DNA Group.
21. Lac McTiernan, a lake in Quebec, Canada, a 7 hour drive north of Ottowa and 5 hours north of Montreal. Lac McTiernan was named after William McTiernan born in Bryson, Canada. He worked for the Canadian International Paper Company in the early 1930’s. To find out more about this man and his father, David McTiernan, who both worked in the backcountry of Gatineau River, read the following book, particularly chapters 14 and 15, CRAWFORD, Venetia, et Gunda LAMBTON. The Wildest Rivers – the Oldest Hills : Tales of the Gatineau and Pontiac, Maitland, Ontario: Canadian International Paper Company may have been bought by E B Eddy Company. The family had a home in the Mason Lumber camp operated by the E. B. Eddy Company. This is Maggie's family in the T Group.
If anyone has any information on any of the remaining unsolved mysteries above please let me know
The McTiernans haven't held tenaciously to their family name over centuries sometimes under duress if did not mean something of real value to them. A legitimacy to their culture and land that stretched back into the distant past to an ancestral line. The Scribe O' Clery in his genealogies refers to two families of Mc Tiernans of North Leitrim, the Clann Tiarnain Bunnaidhe that is the McTiernans of the Bonnet (Dromahair) and the Clann Tiarnain na Caraha or the McTiernans of Corry (between Drumkerrin and Lough Allen) could this explain at least two of the main groups? There is also a possibility that some of those in groups of their own represent the last survivors of the true McTiernan lineage and that the 3 main groups are very successful interlopers? courtesy of Austin McTiernan.
Each DNA Group is of equal standing. Each group's baseline is where all in that group started. The baselines of the 16 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.

Above
numbers for perfect match of 25 / 25 are in red
background - for the specific DNA groups, the red +
sign means the grouped individuals are
related. +SeanJ
& Mike-PA are cousins
A 22 / 25 match or less in the previous grids most likely means no common genetic ancestor or the common ancestor is well beyond 2000 years or 70 generations back in time, as in T Group baseline compared to the T3 Group baseline which is a 16 / 25 match. Surnames came into existence in the year 1120 more or less. Gene who is in the T Group is an exception as his 3 mutations occurred in only one locus and is considered a radical mutation but is still listed as being in the T Group. JohnL is a 22 / 25 match to the T3d baseline but is a cousin to Thady and a cousin to Sean in the T3d baseline.

Mark may relate to
Martin
from
Dublin as both
families are from the townland of Leonagh. Peter McTiernan of Canada is
related to Michael (CN). Turner Bluechel through his maternal
line is
related to Rory and his sister Alannah. 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.
