McDonald and M. S. McDonald match on 37 out of 37 markers, thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA James McDonald, Sr. McDonald, Sr.-3 and James Faris McDonald McDonald-7011 FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 7 generations is 91.73% and within the last 8 generations is 94.73%.
- Recently a confirmed YDNA match has been discovered between Richard R. McDonald McDonald-22450 to Max Milton MacAlister Macalister-103 who descends from John "Black John" MacAllster making our common ancestor the Grandfather Angus Vic MacAlister of Loup.
