While many researchers claim that Aedh Slaine the 141st Irish
Monarch was a descendent of Niall of Nine Wiki indicates that might
not be true and my DNA match at about 45 generations to the O'Kellys
of Hy-Many also indicates that the O'Kelley of Bregia descend from
Maine Mor and not Niall of Nine. Wiki says:
"Áed and his kin were considered by later genealogies and histories
to be members of the southern branch of the Uí Néill kindred,but
this may be a later addition to include the descendants of Diarmait
mac Cerbaill, supposed to be great-grandson of Niall of the Nine
Hostages, among the ranks of the dominant Uí Néill. The other
branches of the Uí Néill, the great Cenél Conaill and the Cenél

Cenél Coirpri and Cenél Fiachach, traced their ancestry rather to
sons of Niall." |
