Well, just this evening I received a response from Mac Mhic Raonuill (the Chief of Keppoch) to my appeal for an opinion (see below), which I forwarded to the High Commissioner & Deputy High Commissioner (as well as the Genealogist who started this whole brew-ha) for Clan Donald USA.
I would hope that this would be an end to it once & for all --- unless (of course), verifiable documentation, & not speculation, to the contrary surfaces.
Until such time (if ever) comes to pass, I will proudly wear my Keppoch kilt with the pride of a descendant of the MacRanalds/McReynolds of Keppoch & Ulster!

The answer is Reynolds, MacReynolds etc is a sept of my clan ; the Honourable Clan Ranald of Lochaber .
Mac Mhic Raonuill in English means The Son of Ranald's Son. It is well established and there is no need to continue to wrangle over a fact .
"Facts are chiels that wanda ding" goes the old Scottish saying. This fact certainly will no "ding" !
You all can join us now .
I am looking for enthusiastic loyal clansmen always !
