   I ran two variations of the M222 modal through Ysearch. The standard one of 390=25 385b=13 392=14 produced 961 8/0 matches. I filled in the search haplotype with five fairly constant value markers, but since there have been  mutations among them, my total is not correct.

   What I wanted was a rough figure to compare with a 390=24 385b=13 392=14 profile, which is what about 25% of my project's M222 cluster has, and which seems to represent Co. Sligo origins. The change to 390=24 produced 123 matches, about 11% of the total.

   However, I could not find a geographic pattern. The most frequest names having 390=24 are Burgess (8), Burns/Byrne/Beirne (7), Ferguson (4), Galyean (3), and Ford (3). The Irish Times surname site http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/index.htm  places Burgess in east Ulster as immigrants, Ferguson in Down/Antrim/Tyrone, and has no suggestions for Galyean. Ford, the anglicization of several gaelic names in south and north Connaught is the only that might help, but one name does not a pattern make.
