How do I get started on the Ancestry Confirmation Pages? Where do I go?

Question

How do I get started on the Ancestor Confirmation program. I am searching for my 4th great grandfather on my dad's side. My 3rd great is Samuel Alexander, born 1797 in Raloo, Ireland. I have read the instructions and have all the right tests and information available, but can't figure out how to start the process. Thank you,

Linda Alexander

Hi Linda,

I see that you've added your father's yDNA test information to the Family Tree DNA Alexander surname project. Have you contacted your father's closest matches to see if any of them have family trees, and if any of them can help you go further back with yours? Have you contacted the Admins at the surname project and asked for their assistance? For the surnames I'm researching I've found it helpful to encourage all our matches to add profiles for themselves and at least their male line to WikiTree. Working together can often help you find your common ancestors.
