I have spoken with him recently and were discussing DNA. They DNA tested and didn't come from Scotland. Their DNA matches specific to N. Ireland and an Irish King, Niall and The Nine Hostages. Same thing happend with my Hood family that claimed Scotland. We match King Niall also but do mach the McNeils prior to 1200 years ago Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
