Clearly, McLauglins and Ewings have a common
ancestor, as do all men in R:M222, but though it is clear that the three
Ewings in Ewing Group 3a are very closely related to the McLaughlins (and

think probably as a result of an NPE in Donegal), I am not persuaded that
there is any closer relationship between the large group of Ewings and the
McLaughlin, then there is between the Ewings and any other of numerous
R:M222 families.
I suspected as much though I didn't look at the Ewing groups. I doubt
there's any connection between McLaughlins and Ewings except prior to the time
of Nial. A Donegal NPE (perhaps an adoption?) could explain the samples.
