I’d love to learn more about clan Calqhoun (we have Cowan on dad’s side, heard that comes from Calqhoun). Also Sweeney is my grandma’s maiden name, pretty sure they started in Scotland and ended up in Ireland as Gallowglass. Great video!

How many of those clans are centered in North America?

Henderson? Campbell? Thank you :)

Buchanan recently got their first chief in over 300 years!

My name is Scott, and i am a DIRECT descendent of John, through his relations, and of Cameron Chisholm who is my great grandfather, and also a direct descendent of John Chisholm.

Great! I just visited Scotland in 2023 and I associate with Clan Macleod, and yes, Scotland is an great place to see for my first time it was worth it, so for this presentation it is great to the details presented here, Cheers!

I'm descended from McDonalds, McFarlands, Chisholms, and Gordon. Based on the history and some DNA information we are pretty evenly divided between English, Irish, and Scots. A really interesting presentation. One of my great-great grandmothers was from Ayrshire Scotland, her last name was Hawkins (which is believe is English), but she considered herself Irish.

My maternal grandmother was a Henderson descended in the direct male line from a younger son of the Fifth Baron Fordell in Fife. He came to the US in the mid 1600s.

I am from the Cunningham Clan and I would like to see a video covering the Cunningham's of Scotland. One of my Cunningham ancestors came to the US during the 1750s. I find it confusing because she immigrated here from Germany. She is said to have been of nobility. I had read at one point many years ago that the Cunningham's were driven out of Scotland by a rival clan and ended up in various parts of Europe in order to flee the other clan. Could you please expound on what was going on with the Cunningham's in Scotland. If memory serves, it seems that the cunningham clan's motto was "over fork over" and they had a castle at Glencairn, which is now just some rubble.

I have Bells, Mctaggarts, and Stuarts in my DNA

A McKinsey from Texas here. 😊

LOL!!! A Rabidly Presbyterian Stewart/McFarland/Lennox ancestor...LOL!! Only in the US West...mixed with Lakota and Sephardi Jewish.

Why don't you see too many of Clan Donald's descendants on the namefinder map? Simple. Many were persecuted, killed and otherwise driven to Canada, Australia, NZ and America. Much of Clan Donald were Catholic (and many remained so). Many clan chiefs (to retain what little power they had after Culloden, sold their Catholic "children" out or should I say cleared them out!} with the help of English anti-Catholic laws that lasted for a very long time into the 1800's. The "Kirk" and its Covenanteers along with Britain committed many crimes (including murder and genocide, at times) on highland crofters who were Catholic. Many of the clans you named (besides Cameron) were actively hostile cooperators with the proudly "anti-papist" English.

My Scottish clans records don't start until 1709 and they begin in America. We are around 800 strong, I think. The most obvious inconsistency is the fact that our patriarch was born a thousand years ago. I'm pretty sure the Orangist British killed the heads of households of my namesake and sold the remnant to the Freemasons as slaves during the clearings. What was it called in British history, "The Glorious Revolution".

I AM in OHIO US@ I CLAIM the ROYAL MONEY MINT in Jesus Confirmed Holy Holy Holy 🙌 😳 🙏 Name Amen

Im a Clark of the Clan Clark a sept of Clan Cameron .. still need to plan a trip to Scotland

I am a Hamilton

I'm descended from Reid & Lowe from Brechin

MacKinnon here.

Campbell Clan here. I have seen this map before.

Fàilte! Im a tad late, but this was really neat to hear about. As I understand it, I am also of the MacFarlanes, though through my my paternal grandmother who was a Callander. Not exactly direct but my ancestors surely were loyal to yours.

Descendant of Clan Kennedy

I found the lost ark

Indiana buro Pennsylvania aka Copenhagen Denmark aka isreal yazreal ancient gilgal ambros aka Indian land aka Pennsylvania Indiana pa

The hay clan

We are from the clan Stuart , spelled with the UAR not the W , I understand it is an old Royal name but I don’t know where to find others in the States !

My great grandfather was a Kincaid, my grandfather was a Goodrich. We are in the western part of the USA

My Rutherford ancestors came from Jedburgh, Roxburghshire

Many Scottish surnames (including my own) came to Ireland with the "plantation of Ulster". en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantation_of_Ulster The lands of some Irish lords were declared forfeit because of rebellion and given to Scottish or English lords, who moved their people there. Also see en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantations_of_Ireland

My line starts with MacKenzie Clan, then changes to McKenney or McKenny here in America.

I’m descended from Fergusons and McBrides. Where were they traditionally located in Scotland? Also related to Freeman’s, but they may have been English.

I'm a Hayes, Burks, Spring and Busby.

My mother's name is Lamont. I know they came from Skye, but when I went to the website, not much information came up.

👍

And most of our clans descend from Somerled. Encouragingly President Trump is at least 50% Scottish as his mother Mary Anne Mcleod is from the Outer Hebrides and Donalds Viking heritage must be a factor in his incredible energy.

Well I am an Armstrong and had there been cattle on the moon.. they would have been stolen by now !

It would be cool to connect the clans to the different whiskies of Scotland. 🥃

MacDougall by marriage here in Massachusetts America. Family by way of Nova Scotia, ( New Scotland, ) Canada.

Is Carruthers still a clan?

Very Interesting, my family is Murray, Kennedy, Dunn and Hamilton…also through marriage Campbell/Wallace…all in Mississippi/La area in the US. It’s funny they all stayed together in US as well…
