Allene All the surnames on the Map refer to those people who have at least one DNA result with a paper trail that puts the history of the surname back beyond 1600. I am trying to capture those known families who have an early history in the southwest of Scotland and to see if there is a pattern that indicates whether or not they arrived in this area under the Gall Gaedhill or perhaps during an earlier period. The McCaddams certainly are known to have lived in the Carsphairns area before 1600, but from your last email, I thought, your family came from Kilfinan in Argyleshire, which doesn't lie in the southwest of Scotland. The are others on this list who are working in that area. I am more than happy to include this area on the Map, if it helps.

Hi Alan, Thanks for the clarification. No problem now. No, the five lines I have tested were living in the Arisaig area up in the Highlands (across from Skye and the Small Isles) at the time of emigration in 1790--Arieniskill and Glenuig, to be exact. Those places are about 9 miles apart, but Arieniskill now exists only on OS maps and hikers' brochures. I thought they had nothing to do with the Lowland McAdams until the pattern of matches with Lowland McAdam, Grierson, and Milligan began to emerge. It now looks very much like they came from the Lowlands at some unknown date, possibly via Ayr, then Glasgow, or Argyll to Arisaig. I have a huge amount of research to do. I do not know when they left the Lowlands, but I believe the McAdams were in the Arisaig area at the time of Culloden. I apologize for confusing you.
