Alexander MacDonald, 1st of Boisdale - Son Named Alexander

Most of the McDonald clan chiefs are not Haplogroup R. There is quite a bit of fraud baked into system that a growing number of true E and I Haplogroup Macdonalds are trying to sort out most of whom are black Scots and Jews like me.

My son is an Ingram and his McDonald line comes in from his paternal great-great-grandmother Alice (McDonald) Ingram's line. His line doesn't connect to any clan chiefs in Scotland. Generations back, they used the MacDonnell spelling. So him having so many DNA matches connected to the Scottish line doesn't fit. That's why I think perhaps the one listed as Alexander Sells McDonald is probably incorrectly connected since the father he is attached to doesn't have a son named Alexander among his known descendants. But you know how it can be when folks get something in their heads and believe it's correct because they see it in so many trees, not taking into account that they all probably copied from each other's trees without checking for documentation, etc.
