Profile Information

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.: I am primarily researching 2 separate lines of collateral family: 1) Dr. James Craik, illegitimate son of William Craik, Provost of Dumfries, & unknown mother. Born 1730-32, Craik became Geo. Washington's personal physician & 1st Surgeon Gen'l of the U.S. 2) Sir Wm. Drysdale (d. 04 Jun 1843) & his 3rd wife, Eliz. Pew of Hillowton, near Castle Douglas.

Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?: Dr. James Craik 1730-ish

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
