We have over 600 members in 46 U.S. states plus Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Botswana, Barbados, New Zealand, and South Africa. Anyone with an interest in Chandler matters anywhere, any time, is welcome to join us. Membership details can be found on the Membership page.
| 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 website was recently awarded a "Highly Commended" designation by the Federation of Family History Societies. The CFA 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.

CFA Website Receives Recognition In late 2012, the CFA website was entered into a "Best Website" competition hosted by the Federation of Family History Societies. Awards were presented at the FFHS meeting in Birmingham, England, on March 23, 2013. The CFA website was awarded "Highly Commended" (in effect, 2nd place)  in the category for medium size societies. We are thrilled with the award from the FFHS and happy to share the credit with CFA members, especially those who have contributed photos and information to the website. Recognition of the website award can be seen on the FFHS website, and the CFA has received a lovely certificate, which will be on display at our Annual Meeting in September. Click on the small image at right to see a half-size version of the award certificate.

New for younger Chandlers!
Our website now has a Young Chandler Descendants page to provide information and research assistance to young people who have Chandlers in their ancestry. It is a modest first step, which could lead to something more significant for young Chandler descendants if there is sufficient interest. The page will benefit from revision by someone who knows how to write for young people while retaining accuracy and subject coverage. If you have that skill or would be interested in helping us develop this initiative, please write Dick at .Dick Chandler at Chandler Family Association dot org
