Grace O’Malley (1530-1603) is a national hero and feminist icon in Ireland. The Finding Grace project aims to identify the DNA signature of her great great Grandfather, Dermot O-Malley (c.1400-c.1460) using the Y-DNA of 13 living descendants. This talk shows how life throws several spanners in the works and illustrates the challenges faced when trying to confirm ancestral connections in the distant past.
