Recommended reading: It costs nothing to check out Boylan Name before you worry about DNA testing. A number of very similar names often do not carry Boylan DNA. After sorting that out come back here. If you are interested in the family history that a DNA test can give you, then this is the right place.
The Y chromosome is passed from father to son for generations without many changes. Such paternal Y-DNA markers can identified with DNA tests. Disclaimer - as with all paternity tests, the rule is that you must be ready to expect the unexpected. Perhaps great-grandma had a fling with the postman. You will only know when you get the test results...
DNA analysis is particularly valuable to research family history that is older than written family records. Even if you are sure that your family tree goes all the way back to James and Aaron Boylan 1730 from Colerain, you still dont know which of the following Irish Boylan septs you belong to. You will need to take a DNA test to find out!
There are cheaper tests, but if you can, please go with the 379 $ Big Y 700 test because

Clan Boylan is urgently requesting your help to determine the DNA of James and Aaron b 1710, William Boylan b 1799 and William Boylan b 1810.
Please take a Big Y-DNA 700 test and make sure the results get in the big tree or stay in touch with this website. The current number of tests published on the big tree and FTDNA are so low as to be very inconclusive. If you support the Boylan DNA project, you are not only supporting the history of Clan Boylan in the USA, we can also draw very valuable conclusions about older history of Clan Boylan in Ireland and even much further back! Please help us and take the big Y test.

Clontibret-Boylans Very rare! So far only identified around Clontibret
History: Patrick O'Boylan paid the Hearth Tax in 1663 and 1665. Most (or all?) Boylans in Clontibret stem from him. Clan Boylan is very proud of Clontibret Boylans for holding the northern flank of Dartry (in Mongahan) for the last 400 years.

M222-Boylans Are said to exist, but none have contacted the Webportal so far.
The M222 DNA test links multiple surnames to the famous Milesian Heremon Line including Niall of the Nine Hostages.
It is not surprising that some old Boylan families test positive for M222. The ONiels and related Clans had lots of progeny in Airgialla/Oriel - close proximity to Clan Boylan. Some of these offspring were fostered by Clan Boylan.
We hope that you can enjoy researching your original Milesian Clan identity and we welcome you and hope that you are proud to bear our name and support Clan Boylan!

Sorry ladies its basically a patriarchal system hardwired through the Y-Chomosomes, however you do have an important role to play to help our project: Motivate your Boylan spouse to join the DNA project (Big Y 700 if possible). If fidelity runs high in your family then, you only need one male individual to take the test. We suggest that your extended family members chip in and get grandpa tested. The results apply to all of you!
NOTE: When you receive your test results, dont forget to link your kit number to the Boylan DNA project and click the button share your data inside FTDNA. It is all for nought for our project until you link up your data.
Maurice Gleeson is the Clan Boylan Project Administrator at FTDNA. There is an email button on FTDNAs Boylan project page to send him your questions after you join the project. We hope that future DNA testing and research will provide lots more details about Boylan history and answer the questions above, so dont hesitate. Order your DNA Big Y test kit now.

The Peters Pioneers Clan Colla Null 425 Project (only 7 Boylan DNA samples!) stems from the discovery that in haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1b4 (L21) Z3004 clade there is a single subset carrying a null at DYS 425. This haplotype is associated only with The Three Collas.
