Hi Sarah,

I look forward to reading your book. I recently discovered my Alexander lineage (Abraham Alexander, son of Elias and Sophia Alexander, and grandson of Joseph Alexander was my 6th great grandfather).

It’s funny actually - as I attempted to sift through the mountains of Alexander evidence on the Internet, I jokingly thought, “Man. Someone should write a book chronicling and organizing all of this information for future generations”.) Viola - your book appeared!

Nonetheless - look forward to reading it very soon. Thank you for compiling all of the information into a modern readable version.

Take care,

Shanna

Hi Sarah,

Absolutely, you may publish my email. Thank you for asking first. I will be happy to post positive feedback after I have read through your book. Publish away! It’s fun to connect with distant cousins!

A question (If you don’t mind me picking your Alexander brain) when you have a moment:

Am I correct in my findings that Sophie Alexander, (daughter to Joseph Alexander/Abagail McKnitt) married Elias/Elijah Alexander (son to Andrew Alexander/Jane McKnitt)?
Parts of my Alexander line are merging together at points  and I wish to ensure that I have the correct information. I write to you from a U.S. Army post in Baumholder, Germany, so I am quite limited on the research I am able to conduct from here. Would appreciate your insight when you have time.

Nine minutes later:

Sarah,

Please disregard my last question - I just figured out the answer.

Sorry - thanks!

Thanks Sarah- enjoy your weekend!

Take care,
