If any one wants to pursue a possible Sodhan or Soghan DNA there are several
other surnames associated with the tribe other than the Mannions.

346. The six Sodhans. - From various references it appears that the
territory of these six septs (who were not of the Hy-Many, but of the race of Sodhan
Salbhuidhe, son of Fiacha Araidhe, king of Ulster, about the year A.D. 240),
were nearly co-extensive with the barony of Tiaquin, in the county of Galway.
See Tribes, &c. of Hy-Many, p. 72, 73-159, 160-165. The O'Mannins and
MacWards were the chief families of this territory; the others were O'Scurry,
O'Lennain, O'Casain, O'Gialla, O'Maigin, and O'Duvagan. See Tribes, &c. of
Hy-Many, p. 159.

O'Duvagan = O'Dugan, Dugans, Duggans. (O'Donovan).
MacWard = Ward
O'Mannin = Mannion, Mannin
O'Scurry = Scarry, Scurry
O'Lennain = Lennon
O'Casain = Cassin?
O'Maigin, possibly O'Maghan, Maughan, in Galway changed to Mahon (MacLysaght)
