"We are sad to report the death of Donna Younkin Logan, January 4, 2006.
She was an enthusiastic genealogy researcher and
publisher for ELDER families, and will be greatly missed
by all of us."
"We propose to set up an ELDER DNA Scholarship Fund
as a memorial to Donna.
Her husband has given his gracious permission.
We welcome any male worldwide with the surname ELDER to participate in our
Y-Chromosome DNA project.
If you are a female researcher with a close male relative still
carrying the surname ELDER
we encourage you to request their participation.
The goal of the ELDER Surname Project is to
distinguish between ELDER ancestral lines, worldwide, and connect lines that have reached brick walls
on their paper trail, especially to connect to their Scotland origins.
Over the past 20+ years ELDER researchers
have collected and organized a vast amount
of genealogical records for families with surname ELDER.
Many of these records can still be found at the FamilyTrail.com web site:

Book: "PETER ELDER of VA."
First paragraph in the book says:
"The earliest history we have of the Elder "clan,"
they were living in Scotland in the 15th century.
Eventually they emigrated to England and Ireland on account of their religious liberties and viewpoints.
Peter Elder, Sr. along with two brothers, came to
this country in the early 1600's.
They landed in Norfolk, VA., but do not appear in a book of immigrants. Peter came over as a stowaway
and working out his passage with a rich merchant....

ELDER origins:
Victor ELDER's webpage, explaining the connection as a
"Sept to the MacIntosh Clan"
(11/12 and 18/25 with PETER ELDER group):
see his genealogy in PA:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/e/l/d/Victor-Elder/GENE1-0001.html
"The origin of the Elder name is as follows:
"In 1160, Malcomb IV called upon the Clan Macduff
to help him withstand an attempt on his throne.
Duncan Macduff, Chief of the Macduff Clan, sent his son Shaw. At the
end of the war, Shaw was rewarded with his own noble rank and lands
and was known as Macintosh. This much we know, Supposedly, Shaw
Macduff Macintosh had several sons, the oldest of whom was known as
"The Eldar" (original spelling) and his decendants adopted this as
their surname, to distinguish their line from the rest of the clan.
The Elder name is very common in Scotland and has always been
associated with the Clan Macintosh (MacKintosh) so the tale certainly
seems plausible...
MacKintosh or McIntosh means "son of the chief or important person"
and Elder is simply the Anglicised or English form of the Gaelic
name.

The most famous
written history of ELDER in Pennsylvania,
is by William EGLE, for another ELDER family,
called the "PAXTANG ELDER" group of PA--
I transcribed part of his book chapter on ELDER here:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nancyelder/EglePAelder.htm
THE DNA from this family,
now 4 FTDNA entries,
all Haplogroup "I1b2a1-ISLES"
can be seen on Katherine Hope BORGES "Scotland DNA" chart.

Chapter heading:
ELDER FAMILY.
I. ROBERT ELDER, b. about 1679 in Scotland, emigrated from Lough
Neagh, county Antrim,Ireland, where he had previously settled, to
America, about 1730, locating in Paxtang
township, then Lancaster, now Dauphin county, Pa.,
on a tract of land near the first ridge of
the Kittochtinny mountains, five miles north of Harrisburg.
He died the 28th of July, 1746, in Paxtang, and is buried in the old
church grave-yard.
He married, in 1703, ELEANOR (?) GILLESPIE,
b. in 1684; d. October 25, 1742.
They had issue:
2. i. Robert, b. 1704; m. and had issue.

Another story for "PAXTANG PA ELDER" says:
"The ancestorial home of the Elder family is
assumed to have been Elderslie, near
Paisley in Renfreshire, Scotland.
Being about six miles from Glasgow.
It was in this shire that the progenitor of the
American family was born, about 1679.
He moved to Lough Neagh, country Antrim, Ireland.
The date of his arrival in Pennsylvania is
unknown, but he died near Harrisburg, at seven o'clock July 28th,
1746, and is interred in an unmarked grave in The Paxtang Grave-
Yard attached to the church, where his son, the famous "fighting
parson," ministered for many years."
(above data taken from a record of Parson Elder,
kept in vol. of Bishop Atterbury's sermons.
Now in possession of Dauphin Co. His. Soc. )
Another ELDER DNA group is my brother's
"R1b1" matching 15 entries
of "FRANKLIN CO PA":
From our Rev. War Soldier, Robert ELDER, (1730-1807)
born near Perth on the Tay, died 1807 in Franklin Co PA.
"FRANKLIN CO PA" charts and files,
