Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.: Sholto Douglas Sorlie (1772-1839), according to a family legend the grandson of Lady Margaret Douglas (born c1710-30?), the sister of an Earl of Morton. I regard this family legend as dubious at best but there is an unknown link evident in the forenames.

Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?: Unknown

Tags/keywords - used to help people find you: Sorlie

I think that the reference to Sorlee here came from earlier correspondence with yourself?

I think that Sholto Douglas Sorlie wrote a book about sword fighting: 'The Words of Command, and a Brief Explanation of the New Sword Exercise'

Yours aye,

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?
