I had been working on the assumption that my illegitimate great grandmother would be from the McRae family as I seem to have many DNA matches that lead to that name. However I think now I need to change my way of thinkiing!!!! Over the years I have seen several times people mainly in america claiming a connection to the McKerrow family but once they emigrate from Scotland to America the surname changes but I have never seen any documents to prove this. One came up yesterday and it got me thinking about my DNA matches and I do only have 1 DNA match that connects to the McKerrow family. So I am now wondering if all the ones that lead back to McRae are all descendants of the McKerrow family. I dont have any close enough to be certain but that would explain why I only have 1 definite McKerrow DNA match.
the trouble is it seem a lot of Mcrae cousins married each other. I am able to check if they match with my maternal aunt then they could be from my great grandmother but if they dont match with her then they cold be from the McKerrow clan. I need to ponder over this one a while. lol
