Oh dear, not the Black Irish again!

There was a URL to a list posted in an email today. It is from the Genealogy-DNA list. You can browse for the information.

There were no survivors of the Spanish Armada. The ones who made it ashore were killed by the locals. This information is from a reputable history of Ireland in the 16th century. There are good contemporary records of Irish people butchering them.

You can also google for information like this. One of the first websites you will find is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Irish

Give it a read.

The data posted here earlier on Scottish DNA was from two lists: the main dna list (genealogy-dna) and one associated with O'Neill DNA (R1b1c7). Browse to either list from rootsweb for more information. We're a little tired of it here.
