I corrected your date below.? You are correct, that seafaring miners could have travelled up to the top of Dingle Bay and sailed down the River Laune directly to Loch Leane and Ross Island ¨C smart fellows, weren¡¯t they?? The greatest cluster of ogham stones is across the bay around Dingle.? Though the time the ogham stones were being created was 3,000 years later than the early mining at Ross ¨C millennia of travel.

Most of the surnames you mention are in different subclades from you altogether, so the common ancestor for you all is well back in the mists of time.
This exchange reflects dna spread across the Irish Sea in pre Eoganacht times. ? The concentrations of ogham stones from Kerry and Cork to Wales, Devon, Cornwall, isle of Man, Renfrenshire area of Scotland show a lively multi-generational seatrade and cultyral exchange among tribes in the late Irish Iron Age. ? The Gangani Celts were warriors and seafaring. ? I¡¯ve seen a huge La Tene ogham in Switzerland and multiple ogham¡¯s near Kenmare. ? ?Ross Island was a copper mining center 2500 BC, engaged with Devon and Cornwall and Brittany in the Bronze Era. My point is Celtic dna exchange was widespread by sea in remote, rugged coastal areas across the Western Atlantic Beaker culture for millenia. ? ?The South Irish group I came from is Eoganacht-dominant since their rise 1,300 years ago, but I¡¯ll never know exactly where my Caldwell, Hughey, Brazil, White, Teague, Keith and other Y ?matches originated outside of my O¡¯Sullivan clan surname branches,?
