[[please contact Ross Beattie if you know of other McBrien lineages, or for further details of these lineages]
                                     O# - lineage number used on the WebSite pre2002]
                                     L# - lineage number used in this study, linked to the more detailed lineage documents
                                     E - indicates whether the respective progenitor emigrated, "Y" yes, "N" no, "?" unknown
 
The lineages are grouped by provenance of earliest known progenitor. The provenances are organised as shewn on the right. By far the majority of lineages are associated with the region about Lough Erne in Ireland, in particular County Fermanagh and the parish of Inishmacsaint. It is likely that many lineages currently assigned to other provenances will be traced to the Lough Erne region or other places in Ireland. . Provenance #Lineages
