 to the Chandler Family Association website. We invite you to browse our website and contact us with your questions and comments.
Our membership is approaching 600, with members in 44 U.S. states plus Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland and Botswana. Anyone with an interest in Chandler matters anywhere, any time is welcome to join us - membership details can be found here.
| We are particularly interested in making contact with Chandlers who live in England or who have traced their ancestors to England, because England is the ancestral home of almost all Chandlers in the world, at least as far back as the 13th Century when hereditary surnames first came into use in the general population. Please see how we can help you with your Chandler research. | |

The association has an award-winning newsletter, published three times annually, and our Genealogy Panel is of great help to members and others researching their family trees. The Panel's work is supported by the CFA Lineages Database as well as records from the Chandler One-Name Study.
The CFA co-sponsors the very successful Chandler DNA Project, which has so far identified more than 60 genetically-distinct Chandler families. This website contains the stories of some of those genetic Chandler families, with more to be added. These stories are very interesting reading and may be of substantial help to researchers.

Did you see the latest blog posting about annual meeting registration?
The CFA Executive Committee Blog helps keep our members and others who are interested up to date on our various projects. Normally there are only 2 or 3 postings per month, and the content is always something we believe will be valuable to our membership. Visit the CFA Executive Committee Blog today and subscribe by providing your email address. Links to the blog can be found in the navigation column at left and at the top of this page.
Annual Meeting set for Huntsville, September 14 and 15
Plans are coming together for our 2012 Annual Meeting in Huntsville. Please make your hotel reservation by August 15 to take advantage of our group rate. You should send registration information to Helen by September 1. Check out the Meetings page for the latest.
We need YOU to help publicize our meeting!
 You can make a real contribution to the success of the 2012 meeting and the growth of the CFA by helping to publicize this meeting, especially if you live in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, or Tennessee! Download an informational flyer and a brief news release with details of our 2012 Annual Meeting. Use either or both to alert other Chandler researchers and descendants to the dates and location of our meeting. Post a copy of the flyer on your refrigerator as a reminder and take one or more to your local library or genealogy association meeting to help promote the CFA. Submit the brief news release to your local newspaper (if you can do so without paying a fee) or the newsletter editor of your local genealogy or history group.
New UK Research Page
Because of our commitment to reach out to Chandler researchers outside North America - especially in the UK, ancestral home of almost all Chandlers in the world - we have added a Chandler Research in the UK page to the website. No matter where you are researching your Chandler line, we will try to help you.
