At this point of the search! By M.O’Neill

Unlike other O’Neill’s of various claims that jockey to position themselves to be the descendant of this person, or another with their illusions of grandeur. The majority does have a common progenitor, and in the future that will either make them or break them. I can careless what many of these O’Neill’s wish to be or claim to be and this is why it’s a blessing that no other O’Neill can claim to our relative or any other surname either. Again these other O’Neill’s do no matter at all unless they are related to the O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico. This is why we must remain independent from any association, or group, and just wait to see how the chips fall. Our y-dna SNP and Haplotype are public, our genealogy, oral history, and the O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico are now well known at this point. Everything has been laid out of the table and nothing has been hidden, for the world to see, and this is more than I can say for many other O’Neill’s, and they know who they are.

What we do know is that the main group of O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico is of a Germanic origin due to its progenitors’ y-dna SNP. And it’s well known that the main groups of O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico have no known kindred or relatives outside of those who are the direct descendants of Don Juan O’Neill in Puerto Rico. There is no relation with the O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico and any other O’Neill in the United States, Australia and Ireland.

A mistake that is not noted by some is that there is no blood relation with the O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico and the Fews of Asturias and Seville. Unless one of their males takes a y-dna test and matches us and that is very unlikely. The only relation at the moment is due to the fact that they also lived in Puerto Rico and in St. Croix, and the last will and document of Don Jose O’Neill the grandson of Don Juan O’Neill stating that upon his death that Don Arturo O’Neill must do a Catholic religious ritual. Outside of that there is no relation with the main branch of the O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico, and the O’Neill’s of the Fews, or the Clannabuidhe O’Neill’s of Portugal. There may be other O’Neill’s on the island that maybe related to the O’Neill’s of the Fews, but that up to them to find out, if they are related, or not, at this point of my ten year search my focus is only on those O’Neill’s that have y-dna tested and the descendants of Don Juan O'Neill.

At the moment the current SNPs tested are the following L148- L48+ P107- U106+ U198- Soon I will be testing for the SNPs L44, L47, and other new SNPs to further place the O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico in a unique solo standing among all other O’Neill’s and in a position to find in the future an ancient tribal origin to the progenitor of Don Juan O'Neill.

If there are no current y-dna matches to the progenitor of the O’Neill’s of Puerto Rico very likely there will be a less percentage in the odds in finding any other O’Neill outside those on the island to match this bloodline. When further test results are shown and with this bloodlines’ unique haplotype it’s very unlikely that any O’Neill in Ireland, Australia, Canada, or the United States will be found or be related to us.

Our best hopes to find any y-dna matches are in Spain where there are plenty of O’Neill’s that do not know of their origins. The regions of Asturias, Catalonia, and Palma Mallorca are places that their maybe O’Neill’s who are related to us. I also have narrowed down that on the region of the Baltic Sea, and on the islands near Jutland we will find some y-dna matches in the future.
