I imagine it is easy to confuse Sil Maine with Ui Maine. I found three
Kearney M222 and a Cairney M222 when trying to identify Ui Fiachrach septs in Co.
Mayo--DWEAC, 37DXW, FVGCT, and DEG9Q. 37DXW listed origins as "Clare" and the
others were the generic "Ireland." None were especially close so perhaps
they represent the various origins described on The Irish Times site:

That's a perfect illustration of why it's so hard to just go on surnames
without locations for DNA samples which is unfortunately mostly what we have in
Ysearch. The multiple origin of Irish surnames is the norm. Add in the
inevitable NPEs and it's difficult to decide anything.
