About the Project
The Alexander Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Alexander name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Alexander name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Alexander), by time period (18th Century Alexanders), or by topic (Alexander DNA, Alexander Occupations, Alexander Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

My father William John Alexander born 1920 died in 2014, His father also Wm John born in April 1896 died in 1949 he had one sister Mary who did not marry, His father Robert born in 1874, then his father John Alexander traced his birth year to 1851 came from Northern Ireland settled and married Susanna Cleland in Bridgeton, Glasgow was widowed at a young age. This is where I have hit a brick wall. My great Aunt Mary said the family were of Dutch descent and came over to Ireland with William of Orange and then came to settle in Lanarkshire. My father said the name Alexander is part of the clan McAllister
