In Memoriam

She was an enthusiastic genealogy researcher and
publisher for ELDER families, and will be greatly missed by all of us.
We have set up an ELDER DNA Scholarship Fund as a memorial.

Book Title: "William Elder descendants" Rev. ed.
We welcome any male worldwide with the surname ELDER or ELDERS to participate in our
Y-Chromosome DNA project, ordering the "mouth swab" kit
on the JOIN REQUEST menu for ELDER discount with FamilyTreeDNA.
If you are a female researcher with a close male relative still
carrying the surname ELDER we encourage you to request their participation.
The goal of the ELDER Surname Project is to distinguish between
ELDER ancestral lines, worldwide, and connect lines that have reached brick walls
on their paper trail, especially to connect to their Scotland origins.

Over the past 20+ years ELDER researchers
