I beleive given time the DNA evidence will show the Cenel Maine to be seperate from the Ui Maine.

My own ancestor's origin would place me north of the Ui Maine homeland. While the three different local genealogy text would have the family as either Ui Maine (twice) or a subject people of the Connacht. Yet my DNA make me either Ui Neill or Connacht and a historical recorded family with the same surname is found across the Shannon in Teffia and allied with O'Connors. They where displaced from their lands and lost to history; by the Norman conquest of Mide. (Note: the last annal entries place them active on the west side of the Shannon.)

I wonder if Maine mac Cearbhaill (d.538) could be the origin of Cenel Maine ('mac Neill')? With thirty years a generation the Cenel Maine pedigree would makes Maine 'of the pedigree' overlap with Maine mac Cearbhaill of the Southern Ui Neill...
