O'Dowling's Country

Fearann ua n-Dunlaing shown in north Laois, Ireland. Similar to most old maps, 'North' is to the right.

The original territory of the family was at Fearann ua n-Dunlaing (O'Dowling's Country). This area covered along Western bank of the River Barrow. The O'Dowling's were one of the Seven Septs of Leix, significant families in the County once called Queen's County.

Please consider having your own DNA tested to improve the accuracy of Dowling and variations' origin results. If you have results do let me know so I can try to make sense of what it tells us.

NEW: This section has been seriously re-vamped.  What was a separate sub-website has now been merged in with the main database so, if Dowlings have informed me of DNA-Y results their recent trees will link to the DNA haplogroups.
