Hello Richard,

I have some rather extensive DNA research which applies specifically to the Clan Maelruanaidh, which includes evidence Tadg Ui Conchobair was not the father of Maelruanaidh Mor. My nearest DNA matches are MacDermot, and I have developed this spreadsheet ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PqrXcqOthmIFHEAoF0G1k77F_mQ1wVKd/edit#gid=2039289674 ) to assist my search for the "real" ancestry of Maelruanaidh. I thought it might be beneficial to the whole project if I could place this along with my commentaries in a 'Space' similar to this https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:The_Enoch_Brothers_and_their_Swedish_Descendants . I created this 2 years ago for my wife's family. What do you think?

Hi Mike,

This sounds like a great idea. I would be very interested in what you have found out. Are you working with a ftDNA group? I just sent a requesr to see your spread sheet.

Rich,

I contribute to the Sons of Aodh group on ftDNA. Much of the commentary I suggested posting is also on their activity feed. I approved your request. I may need help setting up the 'Space' page....I forgot how :-)

Mike
