I will be speaking at the 30th Charles Bascombe Shaw Memorial Scottish Heritage Weekend. This symposium runs from April 5 through April 7. The event takes place in Laurinburg, North Carolina and is sponsored by St Andrews University.
An excellent slate of speakers will be there. My talk is on the Redshank Migration from Mid Argyll to East Donegal. This is the story of the Redshanks, or Highland Gaels, that in the 1500s settled in the Lagan District, east Donegal. It is a romantic, though tragic tale, of the Scottish princess, Fionnuala Nic Dhónaill, the daughter of Seamus Mac Dónaill, the taoiseach, or chief, of Clann Dhónaill and how she became a pivotal figure in the migration of Highland Gaels into west Ulster.
Fionnuala Nic Dhónaill is better known in history as Iníon Dubh (said Nee-an Doo), which means 'black haired daughter.'
If you have an interest in Scottish history and lore, do attend. Going to be an enjoyable and interesting event.

Hi Barry, I left a msg. via Ancestry and PM via Facebook but they probably went to ether. I know that you've done extensive research on the McCain lineage and, as a McAllister, I can well appreciate the DNA research as well!
I'm trying to link William A. McCain's wife Louisa McAlister to one of the families present at that time in Lawrence, Alabama. I was wondering if your research involved expanding the McCain branches to their spouses? Thanks much, Jean Stewart
