Chris, there are almost as many variations on MacAdam as well. I wonder if you have any connection with MacLean? Allene

Allene, I've wondered the same thing as well. I do have a 62/67 match with a Scottish MacLean.  I'm listed in the "Niall" section of the MacLean group under Daniel Lane 1725. My close  match is right above me under Donald MacLean 1809. Any thoughts on these results? Should I start maybe looking harder at the MacLean line? Why would have the "Mac" been dropped on such a prominate Scottish surname? http://www.familytreedna.com/public/clanmaclean/default.aspx?section=yresults Chris Lane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allene Goforth" <agoforth@moscow.com> To: dna-r1b1c7@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 9:23:06 PM Subject: Re: [R-M222] New Tactics Chris, there are almost as many variations on MacAdam as well.

Chris, I counted only two off-modal matches, so it's not something I'd get extremely excited over unless you were matching to a bunch of these McLeans, and most of them had a higher number of off-modal matches to you in addition to a close GD.
