Good afternoon,
I am a coadmin of the Murphy DNA project at FamilytreeDNA and am looking for any Murphy men whose Murphy ancestors may have lived around Bandon, Dunmanway, or Innishannon. I am hoping some of you may be willing to take a Y DNA test and join the Murphy DNA project at FamilytreeDNA.
My 3rd great grandfather Thomas Murphy 1822-1877 and two older siblings were born at Derrynasafagh, Dunmanway Parish. I believe the oldest siblings may have been born in or near Bandon. One of the oldest brothers James Murphy's death notice said he was a native of Bandon among the early settlers of New Bandon, New Brunswick. Family settled in New Bandon circa 1826.
