The same Robert C. McConnell who has wondered whether his line traces to immigrants from Dumfriesshire has also considered the possibility that his line traces to Donegal. He has been in touch with a researcher of a line from Donegal which has many of the same given names as his own McConnell family. It would be very interesting to get DNA results for a member of that family to compare with those of Robert and others in the Clan Donald project.

I think that the DNA groups are going to be very helpful.? But there are going to be such families as ours that only have female McConnell's left.? My aunt who is 77 years old agreed to the DNA testing,? she was a granddaughter to the McConnell who was born in Glasgow in 1862.? I've contacted each and every match that comes to my e-mail and so far no close matches.? I like reading from the McConnell rootsweb.com.? I'm in Kansas and know that my Sarah McConnell must of left a family somewhere before she came to Kansas.? I'll just keep searching like everybody else.?
