Kirsten, The Clan Donald group is the one I went through in Family Tree DNA to get my Y-DNA taken. I got a match with the brother of the person I had been corresponding with for several years while researching our McConnell line. Our common ancestor goes back 6 generations. This was a good conformation of much of the work we had done on this family. I would still like to know if there is a separate McConnell group in place.

Diane, John, and other fellow McConnell researchers, I was just exploring the familytreedna site, which has a description of the Clan Donald project and a link to the Clan Donald project website. Below you'll find the link to the former. You can go from there to the project website and see and compare results. This is much more information than I recall finding on the site before, but maybe I just missed it. If the link doesn't work, just go to familytreedna.com and you can find it under Y-DNA surname projects under Donald USA or by looking for projects including the name McConnell. http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=F86325&special=True&projecttype=S Kirsten On Fri, 27 Apr 2007 21:39:03 -0400, Diane S wrote > John - > Would you please send me the link to the Clan Donald group... my > late husband was 1st Lt.

Diane, Kirsten just answered some of your questions about getting to the Clan Donald dna site through Family Tree DNA. They also have a DNA site. Go to dna-project.clan-donald-usa.org I'd like to see someone start a McConnell DNA group. I'm not the one to do it, however I would help. This is new to me, and you have to learn a whole new language. John > John - > Would you please send me the link to the Clan Donald group... my late > husband was 1st Lt. William E.
