DNA match of mine shows Purdy as being from around Giant's Causeway NIreland. I find there are large clusters in Limavady-Coleraine north Londonderry as well. Wonder if there was a migration across and all one family. Possible contacts to McDonald, Irwin, Purcell, Londonderry county all would be interesting to investigate as this could explain why this match contacted me thinking I was from the Causeway when I have no relatives there! Our earliest common relative if DNA correct was John Purdy born 1835 or thereabouts - he was a fisherman at Causeway as was his his son John, whose daughter born 1912 or so was Winifred. All info gathered from census and irishgeneaology.ie, but Winifred missing.
