Thanks Annie. The highest matching cousin Ella (1636 cM) has died unfortunately, but we worked out the link to our family through her granddaughter. AMacD shares 1154cM. The next two highest are 404 and 372, but they are not responding to messages and have no family tree on ancestry for me to compare names on. Everyone else is 178 and less. So, I don’t think we’ll work out who the man was that fathered these three girls unless someone else related to him does a DNA test at some point in the future. I think we just need to accept that now, but thanks for your help.

No, sorry. My Great Grandmother, Marion Primrose Ross was a Governess. She had my Grandmother, Hope Primrose Ross as an illegitimate child. We have a DNA match to Angus MacDonald as a 1st or 2nd cousin. I think the link is through the father of Marjory Mugg(Moug). All the MacDonald men at the right level of the family tree are a bit old so it’s unlikely they are the father. We also have a stronger DNA link to a 1st cousin who is also an illegitimate child.

Thank you for that info. The names and spellings do seem to keep changing. We believe my great grandmother was a Governess at Kelburn castle. So I was just wondering if Margaret had any links to that area but it doesn’t sound like it. It seems like we have three different illegitimate children in different areas by the same man. So he must have moved around, perhaps for his job.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if you're still using this, but I'm trying to help my Mum look into her family tree.  We did a DNA test and Angus MacDonald comes back as a 1st-2nd Cousin.  He's posted that his Dad is James MacDonald and his Mum is Marjorie Moug.  When I did a search on Marjorie Moug it took me to this thread.  I'm trying to help my Mum find out who her Grandfather is.  From looking through the MacDonald family tree, I don't think she's related to any of them.  The ages don't match up.  I think she might be related to Marjorie's Dad who's not named on her birth cert. I just wondered if you know where Majorie's family lived before she was born in Fife by any chance?
