Consider a DNA test. There are several types, the male Y-DNA, a general X and the
Mitochondrial
female Mt-DNA. Brothers and sister have the same Mt-DNA and mother to daughter to
grand-daughter it remains the same. See Brian Skyles "Seven Daughters of Eve"
It might not help you connect to the Alden line as it looks like that was a generation
ago. It will give you some help in finding cousins sharing the same Mt-DNA. Back to the
original Clan back 20,000 years ago.
If you are unfamiliar with MtDNA it is like the Egg Whites. It is my feeling that this
will grow in importance. I have used FamilytreeDNA,com and Ancestry,com, Search by
Surname first.
