Sarah,

I spoke with my mom on her birthday and she really loved my gift and was so surprised to receive a whole book written about the Alexanders. She wanted to know how I was able to get it autographed and I told her what a nice and accomodating person you were to work with!

I will always thank you for your kind help in filling in my brick wall in my Alexander ancestry and helping out a “novice” genealogist! Your book is a wonderful asset to all Alexanders and lays a good groundwork for all genealogists in the proper way to go about ancestral research.

Best Regards,
Caren

Sarah:

The book came & it has been read, parts several times. What lot of history! We have a grandson who teaches history in high school and a granddaughter who is getting her PhD in history , right now at Princeton, they will enjoy it too. I have a article written by a lady saying she thought Gabriel 1725 was too young to be the one in the dispute, this proves her wrong! I had collected info on the Alexanders for a number of years from Somerled to William(the fat boy) and a lot of the Augusta Va family but had never connected them to the Irish-Scots, now I have all the family connected and in my computer and checked with the book. I think with a little more research we can connect my McDaniels (McDonalds) to the ones in your book, I hope! We thank you for all your many hours of help and I try to help others when I can.

You are a Love,

VS

l. Thank you for your hard work and making it available to the world.

2. My book arrived as you promised and it is a treasure. Yours is the most definitive Alexander research I have found. Having been the genealogist of my family history for 38 years, your book solidified and greatly enhanced my records. I thank you so much for the hard work and expense you put into the book. If you have other books or articles I certainly want to acquire them.

3. My wife and I just took a 5 day vacation; I took my laptop along as well as your book. I just enjoy gleaning every little morsel since it pertains to my heritage, too. I found the articles very interesting. Your talent provides much enjoyment for me. Keep up the great work. Any plans for future publications? Have a great day and “Thanks” again.

4. Thank you once again for a book that should be in every Alexander household.

Hello Sarah,

Thank you so very much for the information. I cry with tears of joy as I write this knowing it took someone as special as you and your talents as a researcher, book writer, and friend to put this all together for my (our) Alexander line. It took three years of dedication and determination for me to finally find out the truth. It’s funny that just something simple that I never caught could put it in relation with it all, and only because of you were we able to do it.

I have a notebook here that I have been putting names and bits of information on this same line for three years because I knew this was my line, I just felt it in my heart. Here I sat on the evidence of some for all this time and just not knowing or understanding how I can show this is my line and you put it together for me. Thank God for death certificates and marriage licenses. Can’t get much better than that can we. I’m going to try and get a copy of that marriage license.

You wouldn’t believe the burden and sorrow I have felt trying to make this happen, and now it’s all released in just a matter of moments. It makes it all worth while in the long run. What is more exciting is that now your books mean even more to me now than they did, because now I can look at them and say this is my family. Not to mention the hundreds of hours you spent doing them.

If you were here I would just hug you, and say thank you for supporting me and helping me in my search for existence.

Ken
