The web page for the Devine DNA study has moved.

For those interested in following our progress, we have a new Web address(all one line):

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~devinedna/...

We have so far identified three major groups of Devines, and several smaller ones, which are unrelated to each other, so we are not all one big family, at least not within the time surnames have been in use.

One of the groups can be identified with a distinct place of origin in Ireland--the parishes of Donaghedy and Leckpatrick in northwest County Tyrone, where large numbers of Devines are still concentrated.

For the rest, there's not yet enough data to point to any specific locality.
