Ok,
So I want to say one moe thing. Malcolm, his father, brother and sister are all DNA tested. His father has a 67 markers YDNA, with Family Tree DNA. His sister, autosomal with ancestry.com. Mal is waiting on his Familytree DNA tests Big Y and his brother waiting on his 67 marker results as well. Aso far we have no McARthur result for their father. However we do have several McDonald/MacDonald, McNeil/McNeill, McMullin, Buie, Cameron, Campbell, Carmichael, Best, Woodruff, to name a few.
I was told these men are different branches of the same lineage of the McArthur family. That family surnames in the Scottish Highlands were named differently. Can someone explain how that came about. Who was responsible for naming the families. We are hoping through Mals Big Y that we can narrow down some of those names. I know there are a lot more name s in the lineages. We are p;art of the Arthur project on familytreedna, there are 39 McrArthur, Mals father doesnt match any of them and w have also joined other projects on familytreedna so we are trying anything and everything.
Thanks again
