John Lowry, Sr.

• John Lowry, Sr. Big Ydna Results, I-BY19889, - Scot - Irish
• List of clans and septs in Ulaid
• The Genographic Project Returns to Ireland to Reveal DNA Results: The maternal DNA results showed great genetic diversity, including lineages that dated back to some of the island’s earliest settlers (haplogroups U4.U5.U8), and some others that arrived more recently (haplogroups I, T1). The paternal DNA lineages were less diverse (88% of participants were haplogroup R1b), likely a result of the dominance of a few male leaders like King Niall of the Nine hostages, as well as the historical influence of the Viking raids from across the North Sea.
