How can we do DNA tests of the dead? Two ways:
Generation | Person | What survives | Image | Notes |
1st Baronet | 1st Baronet | Graveyard | Buried
at Dromavally, near Killorglin. Maybe Blennerhassett vault could be identified. |
|
The sons | Rowland Blennerhassett of Kells | Graveyard | Almost certainly buried
at Dromavally, near Killorglin. Since his son was buried there. |
|
1 | Son of Rowland Blennerhassett of Kells | Graveyard | Rowland Blennerhassett junior is buried at Dromavally. |
Generation | Person | What survives | Image | Notes |
The sons | Arthur Blennerhassett | Grave | ![]() |
Inscription: "The Family Burying Place of the Blennerhassetts of Blennerville". So there are clearly more than Arthur here. |
1 | Daughter of Arthur Blennerhassett | Grave | Theodora Blennerhassett is buried with her father Arthur. | |
2 | 4th Baronet | Stamp | Stamp from him almost certainly exists in Cambridge papers | |
3 | 5th Baronet | Stamp | ![]() |
|
3 | Major Richard Chute | Stamp | ![]() |
SL/B/26(1) in Chute papers |
4 | (Irrelevant) | Living DNA | We got DNA from multiple living people in generation 4 for the Letitia theory. But those are now irrelevant. | |
5 | Multiple people | Living DNA |
We got DNA from multiple living people in generation 5 for the Baronets theory.
And we can still get more samples.

Generation | Person | What survives | Image | Notes |
1 | George Cashel | Graveyard only | ![]() |
Grave not known. Would have to exhume and test whole graveyard until get match to our family. |
Generation | Person | What survives | Image | Notes |
2 | Blennerhassett Cashel | Grave | ![]() |
|
3 | Children of Blennerhassett Cashel | Graves | Lots of known graves of children of Blennerhassett Cashel (and their 1st cousins). But no point. If going to exhume anyone, will exhume Blennerhassett Cashel. | |
4 | Steen O'Mara | Stamp | ![]() |
|
4 | Patricia O'Mara | Stamp | We have 2 postcards | |
4 | Eithne O'Mara | Stamp | We have a postcard | |
4 | Multiple people | Living DNA | We got DNA from all living people in this generation. No more exist. | |
5 | Multiple people | Living DNA | We got DNA from multiple living people in this generation. And we can still get more samples. |

I have spent a great deal of time and money on this research.
Research involves travel and many expenses.
Some research "things to do"
are not done for years, because I do not have the money to do them.
