I just sent my father's DNA samples to FamilyTreeDNA for the Chambers/Chalmers DNA
Project and the Scottish Clans DNA Project. My Chalmers grandfather was born in St Quivox,
and his family also shows up in Newton-on-Ayr, Girvan, and the city of Ayr, all in
Ayrshire. The family does show up in records as Chambers, Chamers, and Chalmers. My second
great-grandfather has been rather elusive, so I haven't been able to find his birth or
death records and his parents' names. I'm hoping for some DNA matches while I
continue to pursue traditional genealogical research. I hope other Chalmers will join the
DNA study. For more info, go to
www.familytreedna.com and search for Chalmers/Chambers.
Thanks.
