Hello again William. Its been quite some time since we've made a correspondence and I wanted to check in with you. Have you been able to confirm my lineage to the Douglas Clan? I listed my genealogy in my profile below. Do you need me to complete any additional research to authenticate my connection to your clan? I appreciate your help with this very exciting possibility in my family tree. Thank you. Erin Hathaway

I have been researching Col Archibald Douglas, who supposedly married Harriet Ella Gifford, for some time. As you will know, there is some controversy around this man.
I have a theory that he might be the son of John Douglas, of Newcastle. See: http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/archibald_douglas6.htm Others have different theories.
Col Hon Sir William Douglas of Kelhead and Agnes Fawside did have a son, Col Archibald, and he did have a daughter. So, perhaps, your theory is correct.
I wonder if anyone else here is from this line?

William Douglas was the son of Sir Archibald Douglas and Beatrice Lindsay, and nephew of "Sir James the Good". He was created Earl of Douglas on 26 January 1364.
Please note that his father was therefore not an earl; he was a knight.
The Earl of Douglas fathered an illegitimate son by his wife's sister-in-law, Margaret Stewart, widow of Thomas, Earl of Mar and Countess of Angus in her own right: George Douglas, inherited the estates of Angus from his mother and was later created Earl of Angus.

Erin,

This article refers to  Conrad Backer / Rutters as married to a woman named Ann.  http://ruttergenealogy.com/8-pages-off-menu/15-conrad-backer-rutters-of-germantown 

Did he marry twice?

William

Welcome to our community, Erin.

I suggest that you remove your email address from your profile.  If you wish, you could put a link to your Ancestry page there.

I will look at your tree and make some comments - if someone else does not get there first!

Yours aye,

William

 
 
 

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?
