Haven't there been DNA studies? What do they say? And you can tell if the Spanish/Moorish influence came from the male line, as in sailors etc., or female, as in perhaps indigenous.

Someone referred to the men of Dunquin as aboriginal in an old book for what that is worth.

My father always said we were Black Irish..at least he was..I don't look a bit even Irish...and I thought it was from the Garvey line who were from Dingle area...but I saw pictures of my ggm with two daughters and they looked totally Spanish..but we thought she was from the middle of Ireland somewhere..but just last week found her obitiuary and it said she was from County Kerry...
