Donald Trump, 45th President-elect of the United States - Donald Trump is a descendant of the Viking chieftain who founded Russia

Murdo Macleod was son of a Donald Macleod. I confirmed that. I did not trace the ancestry or origins of Donald Macleod.

Unfortunately, this entry I couldn't find the link:

"Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQ77-WJH : 2 January 2015), Christian Macleod in entry for Alexander Mcleod, 10 May 1830; citing STORNOWAY,ROSS AND CROMARTY,SCOTLAND, reference ; FHL microfilm 101,997, 990,662.

Not yet if ever? The line were cut off there because of lack of sources, and it's quite understandable as there was hundreds if not thousands? Macleod's living in the more or less same area in Scotland under this time frame, within a 30 years period you could for example easily have had a dozen men with the exact same name marrying women with the exact same name, e.g. John MacLeod, marrying Anne MacLeod, etc. Without more proof this particular line can't be said to be satisfying.

I read this as Catherine, the daughter of Donald MacLeod, married ("now the widow of") William Telford, Skerry.

So this would not be the same Catherine MacLeod as mother of Alexander MacLeod.

She may have been married twice. She was also married to William Macleod.

Maybe someone can arise the awareness in Scotland that Donald Trump had a Scottish grandmother, so that some amateur genealogist there can start to dig up his real lines? ; )

The expectation is that one of America's top genealogists is already on the case

Ok, now it works.

Erica "the Disconnectrix" Howton, could you name a specific work of Gary Boyd Roberts on the genealogy of Trump?

I don't believe he has published anything about Trump as yet.

I guess someone done an odd politicizing in Trumps fathers line, this one, Christian J. Trump born 100 years before Hitler got into power, he also died a decade before Hitler was born, has been awarded with a very brown image, brown symbolize often Nazism.

Trump's Scottish Ancestry
THE FAMILY HISTORY OF MARY ANNE MACLEOD, THE MOTHER OF DONALD J. TRUMP

by Tony Reid

Genealogy

Mary Anne was born on 10th May 1912 at 3 Tong, Stornoway to Malcolm MacLeod and his wife Mary Smith. The family lived at Tong, a small fishing/crofting township lying 3-4 miles from Stornoway, the only town on the Isle of Lewis. The parents married in 1891 within the Free Church of Scotland, Tong. Malcolm was a local fisherman/crofter, the son of Alexander MacLeod and Annie MacLeod. At the time of the 1901 Census, Malcolm and Mary already had six children.

Alexander, also a crofter/fisherman, would have been born in about 1832. He married Ann MacLeod, also a Tong resident, in 1853 and died in Tong in 1900. According to his son Malcolm, who was the informant of his father’s death, Alexander was the son of William MacLeod, a crofter, and Catherine MacLeod. William died at nearby Vatisker in 1869 and, according to his son Alexander; he was the son of Kenneth MacLeod and Catherine McIver.

No trace could be found of wills or testaments in respect of Alexander or William MacLeod. The book “Tong: The Story of a Lewis village”, (Tong Historical Society, 1984) provides some family trees and photographs of several MacLeod’s. Further research would be required to clarify the relationships of these people to Mary Anne/

This is going to start this debate back up again. American Ancestors Managize Vol 18.1 Spring 2017 just arrived in the mail box. (Note this is not NEHGR but it is published by NEHGS). The following article appears:

The ancestry of President Donald John Trump an initial exploration Alexander Bannerman edits Executive Papers and approves applications for various hereditary societies. Julie Helen Otto, a former Staff Genealogist at NEHGS, indexes the Register and serves as Transcriber for Mayflower Descendant. Gary Boyd Roberts is Senior Research Scholar Emeritus at NEHGS.

"President Donald John Trump is half
German and half Scottish, the son of
real-estate developer Frederick Christ
“Fred” Trump (d. 1999) and Scottish
immigrant Mary Anne MacLeod
(d. 2000), this latter born on the Isle
of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The
President’s paternal grandparents
Friedrich “Fred” Trump (d. 1918) and
Elizabeth Christ (d. 1966) were late
nineteenth-century immigrants from
Kallstadt, Pfalz (in the Rhineland),
Germany. Alexander Bannerman and
Julie Helen Otto compiled an ancestor
table that will appear in the next issue
(No. 14) of Executive Papers,1 which Mr.
Bannerman edits. The Trump ancestry
was initially covered, as a narrative,
in Gwenda Blair, The Trumps: Three
Generations That Built an Empire
(2000), later reprinted as Three Builders
and a Presidential Candidate (2015),
which names the four German grandparents
of the President’s father. Further
German ancestry may well be traced
and confirmed, and may first appear
on the Internet (as did some of the
data below). Isle of Lewis surnames
in Mary Anne MacLeod’s ancestry
include MacLeod (at least three lines),
MacIver, Cameron, MacKenzie, Smith,
MacSwane, Campbell, and MacAulay
(at least two lines).
In compiling the President’s Scottish
ancestry extensive use was made of
ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk, the essential
website, which includes (among many
other records) pre-1855 Old Parochial
Registers (births/baptisms, marriage,
and burials, only for the Established
Church); post-1855 Statutory Registers
(civil VRs—births, marriages, and
deaths); and Scottish census images.
Below is an initial ancestor table
through great-great-great-grandparents;
the treatment in Executive Papers will
be more detailed. Earlier generations
of Scottish ancestry may also appear
on the Internet but will require confirmation.
The following Ahnentafel may
alert readers to Kallstadt-area surnames
shared with the President. Inhabitants
of the Isle of Lewis were long of largely
Celtic and/or Viking descent and many
still speak Gaelic. Kinships to mainland
Scottish families with the above and
following surnames may date from
common ancestors only of the seventeenth
century or earlier. MacLeod and
MacAulay are among the most common
surnames on the island.
Sources, in addition to those mentioned
above, include several German databases
on Familysearch.org (covering
births and baptisms, 1558–1898;
marriages, 1558–1929; and deaths
and burials, 1582–1958); FindAGrave
memorials (for Fred Christ Trump
II, brother of the President; Frederick
Christ “Fred” Trump and Mary Anne
MacLeod Trump; Friedrich “Fred”
Trump and Elisabeth Christ Trump;
Christian Johannes Trump; and Philipp
Christ); New York Times obituaries
and other newspaper items; U.S.
Naturalization Record Index (1794–
1995), Eastern District of New York,
and the Social Security Death Index
(both on Ancestry.com); and Trump
tombstones at the Lutheran All Faiths
Cemetery, Middle Village, Queens Co.,
New York."

I searched the site cited above:

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

And I still found no evidence of Christian/Catherine MacLeod's parents. Maybe someone else will have better luck. Per above Catherine was married to someone else. So I don't know what to make of this. The authors do state "Earlier generations of Scottish ancestry may also appear on the Internet but will require confirmation."
