Surnames: Alexander Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gV.2ADEB/4184.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I am from William Alexander, Alexander Alexander who's son was Joseph. I hope. There are just so many Alexanders it is hard. Plus they kept naming their children the same names. The Peden book you talk about are you refering to the book having all of the different Alexander families? Also does anyone know where the indian blood come from? My Alexander's migrated from Penn./carolinas?/ohio/indiana/illinois. I am not real clear about the carolina's yet I read they went there then went back to Penn. Thank you for letting me understand about the HOM. Chris
