Thanks Thomas,I'm glad I'm not the only one confused with this.

It's great to know that my Y DNA matches Niall of the Nine Hostages,but I'm
more concerned with finding McGONIGALS and variant spellings in the present
day that I'm related to,in the hope that they have a paper trail that I can
use.
The history 'lessons' are great,and I admire and thank the people who take
the time to do the research and pass it on to us.

My main purpose in joining this group was to find people with close matching
Y DNA to see if I could break down some brick walls in my search for the
origins of my gr.gr.grandparents Hugh McGUNIGAL sic,and Sarah COYLE in
Derry,Londonderry
~~~~
Info from National Archives,Kew,
Hugh McGunigal was discharged from the 91st Ft invalid depot at Chatham on
21 Feb 1857 with no claim to pension. He was noted as born:Londonderry;
trade:tailor. His date of enlistment was given as 15 Jan 1856.

I hope I haven't offended anyone with my opinions,but I find it frustrating
trying to understand the concentration on the "BIG PICTURE" rather than
present day relationships to help in our research back to Ireland.

By the way..I was born in Scotland,.....and I'm probably "Out of Order" with
this posting.:o).
