Group 8 Earliest Known Ancestors
The colored notes will not be part of the page; these are for you, Jim, to understand what is happening.
The plugin being used is WP Ninja Tables Pro. This plugin has most of the options that we use regularly, such as merging cells. There are two major deficiencies in the current version, which may or not be implemented in a future version: (1) we cannot do “vertical alignment” (pushing the text in a table cell to the top of the cell or the bottom of the cell; it defaults to the center of the cell); and (2) we cannot adjust “padding” (which is the white space between the text and the borders of the cell); if we could, we could close up the “rows” of the table.
This table uses the same shading that is used on numerous tables throughout the website.
| Ancestor's Name | Place of Birth | Approx Year of Birth | Approx Year of Death | Place of Death |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robert Chawner | Leicestershire, England | 1590 | 1653 | Leicestershire, England |
| William Chandler | Virginia, USA | 1749 | 1837 | Indiana, USA |
A vignette of the history of Group 8 can be found on our CFA website at DNA Group 8.
Group 8 Descendants
As more FamilyTree DNA testing has occurred for the Chandler DNA Project, we have encountered variances across individuals. While it is believed that the members below are Chandler Family Group 8, there are variances in their DNA that leads us to believe that there are “sub-groups” of the family, whereby all members of the sub-group have a common ancestor. Until such time as we are able to find the common ancestor for these sub-groups, we will list them separately.
Group 8A – Robert Chandler (1775-1848)
Group 8B – John Chandler (1755-1843)
Group 8C – William Chandler Sr. (1749-1837)
Group 8D –

This table is using the “shade every other row” option (along with the above column widths and suppression of options). The only exception is that if you “hover” over a cell, it will highlight that cell (and “associated” cells, although I’m not sure how those “associations” are decided). I just made the color pink, for contrast – we can change it to a variation of the gray/black, if you desire.
