Marie. Thank you for that information. You will have to forgive me, I am new to this research and DNA. My Ancestry name is WCI. I have had a look and can't find 6 figure number, perhaps you can point me in the right direction. I will also look into gedmatch now.

Hi Marie
Thanks for getting back to so quickly. I am not entirely sure without looking it up again where my grandfather (who used both McCallion and Campbell names) was born, but he was buried in Cockhill Cemetary, Buncrana, as was his father James. I understand there are roots in/around this area, how far back, I don't know. I have looked at the 'find a grave' website and the earliest dated Campbell headstone is 1860s. There are also many McCallions. As I understand it, both my g'father and gg'father were born McCallions and buried as Campbells?? I did not meet either. A lot of my searching otherwise is simply guesswork. My DNA is with Ancestry, the number you gave I am not familiar with, so presumably a different company. I have noticed many of my DNA matches have ancestors in the Inishowen area, Illies, Buncrana, Clonmany and Londonderry. I presume there is a link to the ancestors in their trees, as the same names come up in different trees. It is fascinating.
It is not easy when looking for either/or names. My gf, ggf and 2 xggf were all named James. My gf married a Doyle from Buncrana and my ggf married an o'Kane from Drumsurn (I have been informed) but I cant find her either. In truth I am having trouble getting this search off the ground.
Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.

Hello, I know I am a bit late in joining this thread. I too am researching my McCallion (Campbell) ancestors from Inishowen. I do have living family (Campbells) in Northern Ireland/Donegal who are descendants of the McCallions. I am having difficulty getting past my great grandfather, James McCallion born abt. 1895. I would be over the mood to get some clarification, information, because despite having family in the area, very little is known. I am in England, and not an experienced researcher, yet. I have done the ancestry DNA test recently, and there are many DNA matches in the Inishowen, Buncrana areas, the names Campbell, McCallion, McLaughlin being arising. Most of my DNA matches are now in USA. I suppose my first question is, has anyone else done the DNA test, perhaps this way a clear link could be established. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks. It would be great to find some family connections. Wendy
