I've been working on a chart of my Mac/McAdam lines to post here later. In the meantime, I ran a search at Ysearch on Kit 119699 McAdam that pulled up the 95 markers entered by other surnames that tested to 111 markers. To my surprise I found about ten 111 matches with McGonigal/McGonagill, Megonnigil, and Mc Gonigle. The closest is CESJE at GD 11, which of course doesn't show up at Kit 119699's FTDNA matches page. I've got two more at GD 12, four at GD 13, and one each at GD 14, GD 16, and I think GD 20. There's a Grierson in that group at GD 16, so it looks right now like it's the McGonigals/Megonnigils who are the closest to my lines. I haven't downloaded any of them to the chart yet, but a quick look at CESJE shows that they do share some of the off-modals with my lines--not sure how many. This is what it says at the small (40 members) Megonnigil project website: "Megonnigil" A variant spelling of MacGonigal. Irish (Donegal) and Scottish (Glasgow): Anglicized form of Gaelic Mag Congail, a patronymic from the personal name Conghal, composed of Celtic elements meaning ‘hound’ + ‘valor' derived from the Irish Clan Mac Congail. The principal thing to be noted is their constant association with Co. Donegal. Apart from the adjacent parts of Co. Derry they were very seldom to be found elsewhere. Some of the sept were counted among the warlike followers of O'Donnell; but they were primarily an erenagh family. It is as ecclesiastics they are best known in history. The Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters shows "Mac Gonigal" as early as 1238AD. Interesting from a historical point of view. If anybody discussed this surname here, I wasn't paying any attention. I haven't done much research yet, but it looks like at least the CESJE McGonigals were in southwest Scotland too--to be specific, in the old Tynron parish, which existed from the 16th century until 1975. This area is part of the Nithsdale district that's the native stomping ground for some of the Griersons and Milligans. Matches to my lines keep going back to the Nith Valley! Allene
