A descendant of my McAlister ancestor who emigrated from Argyllshire, Scotland in 1770 is in the Haplog group R1b1c yet in this 12 marker test no one else among the 47, or so others, who have tested with FTMDNA under the auspices of the Clan McAlister of America have this identical haplog identification. Am wondering if anyone on your list has this unusual haplog or could tell me how to find where others of that identification could be found on line. Thank you. Bill in Baltimore, MD, USA

You should specify a Ysearch ID where others can view your haplotype.

John, Thanks for your reply, but I don't know what a Ysearch ID is as it was not I who took the DNA test. Can you explain, I do know what the 12 markers are.

I am R1b1c(x) after my maternal grandfather and am still waiting for the determination of the last digit (x) ... After some research we have found that my 12 markers overlap with the Milesian line of Heber. Most of my matches come either from Ireland or from Argyllshire. I also have a 19/23 near match with the Morrisons on the slow markers (much more important than any other markers) and almost exact matches on the 25 markers with the Kellys and other Irish/Argyll families...

Many thanks to Derek McDonald, Greg Moore and John Carr for their prompt reply to my query and suggestions which I am sure will help me zero in on my family's origins.
