I've just joined your group, Nancy  :)
I'm still trying to make sense of DNA testing, so could I rely on you to let me know if any significant matches turn up, please?

Thanks!  Will view the matches now!
 First, I use the search box titled: ANCESTRAL SURNAMES.
Type in ELDER, view list of those with ELDER in their surname list.
Click GREEN PEDIGREE ICON in those matches to show any ELDER entries.
 Will send discoveries via e-mail.

Hi Nancy
Since your last post here, I have taken a DNA test with FamilyTree.  I had to take the Family Finder test as I don't have access to a male descendent.  Would my test results be of any interest to you?

Yes indeed! That would be great!  Please use JOIN on our ELDER DNA project webpage

Researching ELDER families in Scotland, posting notes on my Rootsweb
pages for most counties:
at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nancyelder/ed/Perth.htm

Includes an early CHARLES ELDER name found in this family by A. A. HUGHES:
   "THOMAS ELDER 1737-1799, Lord Provost of Edinburgh and Postmaster General of Scotland, former wine merchant who married Elizabeth Man. They had one son WILLIAM ELDER and their eldest of 4 daughters, Isabella, married the Principal of Edinburgh University, George Husband Baird 1761-1840.
This line begins with William Elder Engineer in 17th century,
then Alexander Elder of Forres near Inverness,
his son William Elder of Loaning near Pitlochry
(ca 1710 to 1780 at least), father of Thomas above and of Charles 1749-1823.
Charles was in the Royal Navy and taken prisoner by the Americans in 1777 for 13 months with an address at Rhode Island.
Later appointed to Lord Howe's flagship *The Eagle* and in
action against the French off Rhode Island in 1778."

Forneth: Parish of Clunie, Perthshire,
near Blairgowrie:

Re: Charles ELDER of County Louth and Belfast:
In the old days of paper family history assumptions, we might dismiss the Catholic designation and County Louth family location as non-relatives, but
now we know that this Charles Elder carries the paternal Y-DNA,
same as the descendant matching my brother's Y-DNA kit #10042.
We also know that Ballymoney and Belfast both have matching
DNA locations for my brother, so I might speculate that Charles' family
came from Scotland, married into a Catholic family.

Hi Gail,
  The quickest and cheapest method to show matches in
Y-DNA kits for "PAXTANG" or my brother's "FRANKLIN CO PA" categories,
would be to find one of your known male relatives also named ELDER
 to take the Y-DNA test for $59.00.
I can send you a free kit for that Y-DNA male test.
  See the "PAXTANG" category on the ELDER Y-DNA RESULTS
chart, which has an origins label "I-223", also called "I-ISLES, SCOTS, VIKING."
  While "FRANKLIN CO PA" category on the ELDER Y-DNA RESULTS chart
has an origins label "R1b1, R-M369 or R-P312," which probably comes from ancient Picts of Scotland. 
    So they are easily identified and separated by Y-DNA, male paternal test.

Thanks!  That family looks good for the Joseph b. BELFAST 1900.
I'll send the census info to our Y-DNA member in Illinois.
