The Heberian Main Genealogical Line
It is the ultimate goal of the International O'Sullivan Clan to eventually allow all O'Sullivans/Sullivans in the world to determine exactly where they fit in the following genealogy. We will hopefully reverse some of the devastating effects that war and famine have had on our culture. By combining conventional genealogical research with yDNA testing we should be able to identify where each sub-branch of the clan sprouts from the main stem. If the Milesian tradition is valid, which I personally believe it to be, then a clear family tree should emerge. The research of Riobard O'Dwyer has been invaluable to this end. That is why I have expended such time, effort, and resources to preserve and disseminate his work (see Annals of Beara).
Clan members Shanna Sullivan Jones and Kathleen Sullivan Kerwin are presently creating a meaningful yDNA platform that should reveal significant genetic clusters to identify our various sub-branches. Some day we hope a simple cheek scrape test will reliably reveal to which O'Sullivan sept an individual belongs.
It is already known where certain sub-branches fit in the main stem. These sub-branches are listed in blue.

Note: Documented primogeniture, as presented in O’Donovan’s Ordinance Survey, ends with Dermot [113]. The Book of Munster records the bloodline to Dermot [111]. Sean [114] and Seamus [115], the progenitors of the O'Sullivan Murts of Derryconnery, are recorded in the Account Books of the Bantry House, Bantry, County Cork, Ireland. Murtagh [116] and Murtagh II [117] are listed in Griffiths Valuation. Mortimer [118] and Daniel [119] are found in the church records for the parish of Kilcasken, County Cork, Ireland. Daniel [120] and all of his progeny were born in the United States and have American documentation. All dates are approximate before 1857. The paternal descent of the present Taoiseach, Gary B. Sullivan, from Cragh, the O'Sullivan Mor of Dunkerron Castle, [c. fifteenth century] was documented by Riobard O'Dwyer, N.T., certified Irish genealogist, of Eyeries Village, Cork, Ireland. Hereditary rights of primogeniture are not claimed by the present Taoiseach.
