GGI2019 Belfast - The transborder region of Fermanagh and Monaghan has had a lot of mixing of DNA over the centuries.  This talk examines the ancient history of the area and links this to Y-chromosomal signatures in the present.  It also looks at the local autosomal matches seen for a number of local datasets on GEDMatch and elaborates on how autosomal and Y signature similarity can be used to prove the historical record and vice versa.
