If you are trying to find your Alexander ancestors, I am suggesting you consider testing the DNA of a male Alexander (either you or a close relative) to help you.

DNA testing will never replaced traditional documentation research. But it will help you at least focus your research and possibly match another Alexander who has already tested. You can then contact that relative and share information and efforts.

DNA testing can also enable you to confirm your suspected lineage.

The Alexander DNA project in the USA has over 100 members, and is actively seeking new members from the Isles. Nearly all our members trace themselves back to the Isles, and many have their lineages on our website.

If you are at all curious, the Alexander DNA project has a new website that explain a lot:

If you would like to reply to me personally, please feel free.

Best of luck.

Respectfully,
