"Interesting conundrum!
This looks like a case for some DNA detective work. I know little about that, but do know it is usually a male thing.
Maybe someone else can help?

Jones-Douglas Conundrum
Kia ora everyone, I've decided to post something here after hitting a bit of a wall in trying to untangle a bit of a confusion in my family's recordings of our history, and so I'm sharing it here on the off chance that someone might know something :)There's a story, in my family, which goes that my great grandfather grew up knowing himself as Walter Jones, until WW1 came around. He, born in 1901, was too young to participate, but attempted to join a local boys group (he lived in Middlesborough,…See More
Profile Information
- Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
- Generally I'm just curious about getting out there and seeing what there is, though I admittedly have more of a vested interest in ancestors I directly descend from. So perhaps anything of the Black Douglas/Queensberry line would be of most interest to me.
We have a family tree on ancestry (organised by my grandma, who has been researching this for over 50 years), though it gets more muddled the farther you go back. We have a fair bit of physical records as well, however I don't have frequent access to those.
- Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?
- James Douglas, 8th Laird of Drumlanrig ---> we descend from the 1st duke and likely the 2nd of Queensberry before diverging (family records of this time are a fair bit muddled)
- Tags/keywords - used to help people find you
- Queensberry, Black Douglas, New Zealand
- dna haplotype
- Maternal: K1a3a **this is not the Douglas side of the family. Paternal is unknown. My dad is planning on getting a DNA test sometime in the nearish future, so this may become known
