"Welcome. This is your heritage, this is your family, this is your home. You will always have a place here."

Clan MacNeil Association of America
Join Your Clan Family
For over a century the Clan MacNeil Association of America has been connecting MacNeils across North America. We gather at Highland Games, trace our roots together, publish a magazine that has served the clan for decades, and show up for each other the way a family does.
If your name traces back to the clan — in any of its many spellings — you already belong here. If you are drawn to the heritage without the name, you are welcome too. That has always been the MacNeil way.
