>Today I am encouraging more of my ELDER Y-DNA members to add markers to John Hansen's "Scottish Clans" chart.
We now have 20 ELDER entries posted on the chart, including my brother's kit #10042 (R1b1b), 7 matching his kit, plus #114538 (63/67)
and #16176 (22/25) in another location on the chart.
In viewing web info about Bruce Durie (b. 1954), now Genealogy Studies Coordinator at U. Strathclyde, Glasgow,
I see that he was a graduate of Kirkcaldy HS (Fife) and Edinburgh Univ, soon after Thomas Murray ELDER (b. 1950), now Baron ELDER in the House of Lords, graduated from both of those institutions.
I wonder if Bruce could ask Lord Thomas ELDER to participate in any DNA study? Does Bruce have any info about Lord ELDER's genealogy, name of parents, etc?
I have notes about ELDER names in Fife posted on my webpages
at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nancyelder/ed/Fife.htm
Especially researching:
Alexander Lang ELDER of Kirkcaldy, Scotland --
in Australia and England

Alexander Lang ELDER and all 15 children listed neatly on a webpage

Thanks for any help you can give me for discovering my ELDER origins
in Scotland! _________________ Nancy Elder Petersen
