@Erica Howton: Does anyone know the barons of Menstrie from start to finish in order of succession?
When it comes to figuring out children and wives it gets very confusing and I wonder if getting closer to the source would make it easier. I wonder if there are any European sources that would have more exact information?

Wikipedia doesn’t have a lot

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_of_Menstrie

List

*Thomas MacAlexander
*Alexander MacAlexander
*Andrew MacAlexander
*Alexander Alexander
*Sir William Alexander

Paul, James Balfour; Douglas of Glenbervie, Robert; Wood, John Philip, eds. (1904), The Scots Peerage, David Douglas

(Would have to search for the article in TSP)

Maybe we can find something more detailed.

Create a project, copy paste the page, cross reference against the other sources, include those links, and I think you have the reference guide you’re looking for!
