Hi,
I am a descendent of Alexander's father James.
I would be interested to exchange information with your friend assumes he/she descends from Alexander?

Hi mikel2009
Thank you for posting.
I have sent her an email. She's not a member of Rootschat. Maybe she'll join up and reply directly.
If not, I'm sure we can work something out.
