No Kevin is the closest link to my father outside of Australia that we’ve  found, he is of the Canadian McDonalds, we are Australian. Both Kevin and my father are side by side in Clan Donalds Big Y results page.

Angus, have you or your Father taken a Family Finder test through FTDA, if so I will take a look.  What is the name used for the kit?

Haplogroup R-FT203392 is under the Y DNA test results.  Did you look under the autosomal test results?

I am a Minnesota, American whose MacDonald's, Macdonell's came out of Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.  I have great detail on my line back to "John (Ian) Roy (Rory) (Ruari) Macdonnell" who came to the Mohawk Valley, New York, on the ship "The Pearl", with his son Duncan, in 1773. John was a loyalist during the Revolutionary war and escaped to Ontario with his military company in 1784 and settled.  All Canadian info suggests that he was from Knoydart, but no specifics.  There were at least 7 John Macdonell's or MacDonald's on the Pearl.  John is of Hugh "Out in 45", who is of Ian Mor, of Rory, of Donald, of John Mor, of Ruari, etc. I cannot keep track of when the name changes from MacDonald to Macdonell, and then back to MacDonald in Canada.  I would so much like to pin point this family in Scotland.  I have visited Scotland once (but no one place to home in on) and will be going to Glengarry, Ontario, Canada in one week to do some Canadian research.

John's son Roderick, my 4th ggrandfather was also supposedly born in Knoydart abt 1745, his son Dougald, my 3rd ggrandfather was also supposedly born in Knoydart abt 1779.  Dougald, of Roderick, of John Roy, of Hugh - has become somewhat of a mantra for me.  If anyone has any connection or info on this families location or history. in Scotland, I would be eternally grateful!

staceypea,

Do you have contact with a living male who is a direct paternal descendant of this line?  If so, Y DNA will get you a very good idea/if not tell you out eight what the kinship of this line is to other MacDonald’s who’s ancestors have roots in the Glengarry Ontario area.
