Hi Randy! You mentioned you are linked to Alexander Chambers. My gggf was Alex. He was
born in Donegal Ireland Aug. 21, 1864. Immigrated to Picton, Ontario Canada approximately
1889. If there is any connection I can give you more information for your records. Carol

Hi,
There is an Adam on the Chambers DNA list from Newberry. The address
is:
http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~crrking/Chambers/chambers_dnar.htm
The name Alexander appears in some of my lines but have not been able
to make a link and I'm not linked to the Newberry Chambers
according to my DNA results.

Hi Everyone,
With the recent discussion about the Chambers DNA group, I thought I
would
post a call out to anyone descended from Chambers/Chalmers families of
Newberry Co., SC.
We are looking for a direct male descendent of William or Alexander
Chalmers/Chambers (or any other Chalmers male) of Newberry Co., SC who
would
be willing to take the Y-DNA test. Alexander Chalmers/Chambers left a
will
in 1795 in Newberry. William may have died previous to that. I believe
both
men were from Ireland or Scotland. Alexander had a grandson living in
Ireland years after Alex's death. This grandson (named Adam)
eventually came
to the US.
I am a descendent of an earlier Adam Chalmers/Chambers of Newberry Co.
who
died in 1801. I suspect that he was related to William and Alexander
but
have found no proof. We are hoping that a descendent of Alex or Will
would
take the test.
My cousin (also a descendent of Adam) has taken the Y-DNA test. We have
waited patiently for a couple of years but have had no matches with any
other Chambers testers.
Sincerely,
Catherine
