I have added FamilySearch microfilm records to your ancestor Sydney Donaldson Gossett, of South Carolina. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Donaldson-1641. I was searching microfilm records and located her father's (Robert) and grandfather's (Hugh) probate estate records so I attached the sources to her profile but did not add the new Donaldson generations for Sydney. I thought you might wish to check the records and make the profiles so you would be manager of these ancestors. Hugh Donaldson per will mentioned land on McElwain's Creek. "Googling" showed this creek at Mean Crossroads, Union County, close to Spartanburg but not close at all to town of York in York County where my William Donaldson married 1800 into the Wallace family. I cannot find any records linking our bloodlines as of yet. After decades of work still searching. Hope this helps you with new ancestors.
My name is Sarah and I’m the Project Coordinator for the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Sarah Mason, Scotland PC

'Confirmed with DNA' should not be set before the necessary DNA confirmation statement has been added to the child's profile.
You can see what is required under the DNA Confirmation topic of WikiTree's Help pages.
Thank you.
