> WELCOME to the website formerly called Driscoll of Cork, devoted to the
> history, genealogy, and DNA of the famous Driscoll clan of Cork. The website
> has been remodeled to allow for record expansion into other Ireland counties
> and the rest of the world and encourage data submissions from volunteers.
> 
> THE DRISCOLLS were the chief family of the Corcu Lóegde, an old territory in
> west Cork and Kerry. By some accounts these people were part of a larger group
> called the Éirainn, who were related to the Dáire in other parts of Ireland.
> Ptolemy referred to these people in the southwest as the Iverni.
> 
> In some genealogies Ith was the remote ancestor of the Corcu Lóegde people,
> and one account dates him as far back as 2900 B.C. That would place Ith at the
> earliest in Ireland’s late Neolithic Age. In the first millennium, the Dáire
> were living in an area known as Ossory, between Kilkenny and Tipperary.
> Lughaidh Lóegde, a descendant, is recognized as founding the Corcu Lóegde
> túath, around the second century. The Munster inhabitants briefly ruled over
> south Ossory. Their reign was in honor of ‘Edersceol.’ They were considered
> usurpers and eventually pushed out by the Deice. In the latter half of the
> first millennium, conflicts with other tribes started to push and confine
> Corca Laidhe territory inhabitants into an ever smaller amount of territory.
> The progenitor of the present day Driscolls, Uí Eidersceoil, lived about 940
> A.D.
> 
> This website contains Driscoll history. Genealogy records have been
> contributed by many generous volunteers and continue to be slowly added to
> over time.

> Y DNA PROJECT
> 
> The Y DNA Project is open to men named Driscoll and also men with west Cork
> direct paternal line ancestry bearing a Driscoll secondary name (agnomen). For
> details on participation, see our Y DNA portal. Non-eligible people can
> participate if they can get a willing and able eligible male relative to agree
> to do a yDNA test and let you supervise their participation.
> 
> Driscoll Genes describes the ancient genetic "ethnic groups" from which
> Driscoll men are descended.

> OTHER DNA TESTING / RESEARCH OPTIONS
> 
> The FAQ over at our FTDNA website lists genealogy research options, including
> Internet links to some good genealogy groups and forums.
> 
> Here on this project website, visitors with Driscoll ancestry may submit a
> Driscoll family history in a PDF for publication.
> 
> Another option is use one of the pedigree tools to submit a pedigree for
> publication on your own dedicated pedigree page. Doing so gives page visitors
> (maybe potential relatives) an opportunity to contact you.
> 
> Many Driscoll researchers / DNA testers have County Cork ancestry. Check the
> FAQ in the Cork Ireland project for instructions on how to participate with
> your autosomal DNA with other Cork researchers on GEDMATCH.
