I've identified a possible candidate for an NPE into my Curley lineage of Athlone. There are a number of Burns/O'Beirne individuals having a similar STR signature to this Curley genetic group. These Burns belong to the same haplogroup as this Curley lineage, L1066/CTS1202. Some of these Burns have the unique STR signature of YCAIIa = 22 in common with the Athlone Curleys. There is a large GD among them, indicating a probable early MRCA with an intact lineage. This Beirne clan is from Roscommon, around the area of Ballintober parish, very near to the Ballymacurly estate. My suspicion is that there may have been an NPE from this O'Beirne gene line into my Curley lineage at around the mid 1600's to 1700, occurring either near Ballymacurly or in the city of Athlone.
