Profile Information

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
I have been carrying on my grandfather's research into our family history. Unfortunately, he was only able to get as far back as William Douglas, who was born in 1856 and immigrated to Canada with his wife Margaret Johnston. I hope to one day find the names of his parents, so that I can continue the research.
Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?
William Douglas, 1856

Welcome to our community network, Caitlin.

I have located  William Sholto Douglas, b 1856 Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland. His father was Sholto Douglas b 1820 Auchtermuchty, Fife, Scotland and his mother was Isobella Anderson. However, the famil appear to have emigrated to New Zealand, not Canada. So not much help. Also, I guess your William was born in Ireland?

Will look again later.

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?
