Clan Egan has established a DNA Project with FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA) in Texas as part of an attempt to bridge some of the major gaps in the documented genealogies. Details about this project can be found here. If you wish to participate, just click the “Join” tab in this project site.
Sue Egan in Australia is the Clan administrator for this project. When you send your kit back, please contact her at spebt10@gmail.com with your Test Kit Number including your email and, if you wish, your earliest know ancestors details (names, country and county/state of birth) for display in the results at Family Tree DNA.
Please investigate the “FAQ” tab at FTDNA website for comprehensive information on DNA testing.
The Archive of Mac Aodhagáin (Dr Michael J.S.Egan) is the result of a lifetime of research and it is his wish to preserve it and to make it available to Members of the Clan who are in good standing.
In accordance with accepted fair research principles the Archive will be held by the Clan Chapters but will not be distributed in its entirety. Documents are for your research ONLY and are not to be distributed further and in particular not published on the Internet.
The Archivist will maintain a record of accesses to the Archive to ensure that requests are reasonable and constitute no more than 10% of the Archive by any one member.

Griffith’s Valuation is one of Ireland’s premier genealogical resources, referencing approximately one million individuals who occupied property in Ireland between 1848 and 1864, invaluable in part because no census material from the nineteenth century has survived and only Griffith’s Valuation links an individual to a specific townland and civil parish.
Find your ancestors today with the most extensive and easily searchable database of Catholic, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Methodist Church records anywhere online – about 23 million births, marriages, deaths from all Ireland.
This website is home to the online historic Indexes of the Civil Registers (GRO) of Births, Marriages, Civil Partnerships and Deaths and to Church Records of Baptism, Marriage and Burial from a number of counties. It has all the currently available Irish civil records from 1864 onwards, as well as some Church records from four counties.
