Is this enough evidence to complete the bloodline back to the Immigrant, George Alexander?

I recommend using traditional genealogical evidence (that you can find) to connect Levi to his Alexander ancestors already in WikiTree.

Y-DNA matching of very distant male cousins with the Alexander surname is the easiest way to confirm with DNA this direct paternal line.

It can also be done with auDNA but for that many generations back requires triangulated groups which is a lot more difficult.

Just linking to Ancestry is not enough for DNA confirmation.

Still trying to understand.  A DNA test was done.  It's referenced by the number 95326 which is my mother's brother.  I have the paper trail back to Levi but have never been able to find proof of his parents
