The sample of Donald J. MacDonald's book only had a flow chart up to the 1500s but the whole book was not available to preview. Is that the one you mean or is there more?

That's the book. Not sure of the entire contents off the top of my head - but worth it and something to pass on down through the generations. No clue how any one person's ancestry fits with the info in the book. Clan Donald obviously much larger than any one book. If I recall correctly the book focused on the early splitting of the various branches. Not something to expect to find an ancestor in.

Yes, I've seen the book referenced a few times before and I'll certainly pick up a copy at some point. I'm not looking to find a particular ancestor, but I'm trying to sort out the "cadet branches" of Clanranald which aren't listed on that flow chart I saw. It stops at the Clanranald and Glengarry level.
Once sees so many "MacDonald of..." and it would just be good to really understand how these branches all relate to one another. The book will take me a long way toward that goal I'm sure.

Home now. Got out the book. There's a chart of ClanRanald on page 288 that runs down to 1776. Also a long chapter on ClanRanald.
