The Chandler Family Association Information

The Chandler Family Association and its officers maintain historical and genealogical information on thousands of Chandler descendants. The CFA Lineages Database (CFALD) serves as a valuable tool for research. The database already contains more than 91,000 records of Chandler individuals from around the world; it will grow - and grow more valuable - as more Chandler descendants participate in the group's research efforts. In recent years our membership has spread across the globe, and we have an active outreach program. The CFA currently has members in 11 countries:AustraliaBarbadosBotswanaCanadaEnglandIrelandNew ZealandScotlandSouth AfricaUnited StatesWalesWorldwide, there may be as many as 150 genetically-distinct Chandler families (GDC families) in existence. The CFA believes members of those GDCs will make most genealogical progress by interaction and research amongst themselves. A few such groups already exist, with members communicating and cooperating via email. The association aims to provide support to such groups. Operating as Chapters of the association, these GDC groups are offered the ability to take advantage of the association's infrastructure and standards, while focusing on research of their own genetic Chandler ancestry. You can learn how GDC families are identified on our Chandler DNA Project page. If you are unsure where you fit into the overall Chandler picture, our Genealogy Panel will try to help you.
