Hi! Thanks for the awesome explanation! :) Been digging up on my Irish roots lately and I'd like to know what's the line with little stripes crossing it at 0:25 and what it means. Can you enlighten me please?
A large majority of men of various spellings of this surname are in fact related on their Y chromosome. You can see this at the Doherty Surname Project at Family Tree DNA.
ive heard that the spellings like my name are because of the early 1600's immigration from Ireland to america. the priest would write down the name by ear. hearing some irish country man it would make sense how they wrote it.
There is another variation of the name, O'Dogherty, that is dominant in Spain, where the name arrived in the eigthteen century. The three broters, Sean, Henry and Clinton Dillon, served with merit in the spanish navy
+Ireland Calling I've found the lyrics for this song, and another about Nell, but these aren't the lyrics that my Nana used to sing...it was definitely the same tune. Any ideas - I think it was about a wild girl who fought? Thanks
Kinda glad I have the surname Doherty without the O' . I grew up (and still live) in Germany and people already have a hard time pronouncing my name xD no need for that extra O xD
@Ezra O'Docharty my first time talking to someone with the same last name xD Quick question: has anyone ever asked you if you are related to the musician Pete Doherty? For some reason every single person I've met asks me if I'm somehow related to him and they're like "coz of his drug problem you know?" No, I don't know him xD just like they assume that Irish people all know each other lmao

joahnn seneca, yep. They are patrilineally related as seen in genetics testing, to the rest of the surname variants.
What's the song called in the main video - my Nana used to sing it to me when I was little...?
+Shawn Carter The song is called the Start of the County Down
+Ireland Calling thanks!

Sorry Shawn, we're not aware of that version. If your remember one or two lines perhaps you could google it?
+Ireland Calling yeah I tried, and found nothing... May be a local variation of the original, she was from Donegal.
Went from Dogherty - O’Dogherty - O’Brien - Dougherty I have the family tree book😉
It's strange to me to think my last name has Irish origins, and I'm also a Filipino 👌
