Link to a fascinating article by Scottish historian Tim Clarkson. Most students of Irish and Scottish history are very familiar with the Gall Ghaeil, but Tim Clarkson has proposed that there was also a Gall Bhreathanaigh. Gall Ghaeil means the foreign Gaels and Gall Bhreathanaigh means the foreign Britons, as in the Celtic people that lived in Scotland. This is linked to McCain history and our DNA results. When I have more time I will post an explanation. This article specifically about Clan Galbriath, but relative to the McCains.
The story here: The Viking Britons
My father was George Franklin McCain 111, His father was George Franklin McCain Jr and So on. I know since I am female i cant participate in the testing, but would my son be eligible to test ? I know we have spoken before so i was certainly curious to know where my geneology is in all of this. Based on past conversations with you years ago, i am inclined to believe I may fall in this Clann Mhic Eain and MacAlpin group but Im not sure...any help would be appreciated
