My Dad is a geneologist and history buff so he loves to share stories of our family history with my oldest son- who has turned into a history buff himself.

Cool!
You might want to check out the website of
Clan Donald USA,
where we find:
Clan Donald-USA embraces all the MacDonalds and other surnames that are recognized as branches or adherents of the greatest of the Highland clans.
Clan Donald-USA is an affiliation of persons who qualify by reason of blood, kinship, marriage or legal adoption. Name alone does not count. Clanship is a family matter that transcends nationality, and we regard ourselves as an extended family.
