Drysdale - a Douglas sept
Drysdale is considered a sept of the Douglas clan, but it is quite likely that this was a separate family which existed previous to when the three Douglas brothers adopted the Drysdale name. A sept is a family that can be related to a clan or larger family for various reasons. Usually this came about either through marriage or by a small family seeking protection from a larger and more powerful neighbour.See More

Steven Pony Hill ...
''I had an indepth conversation with a very knowledgeable and credentialed man in this field (does being a sitting board member of the Human Genonome Project sound like he may know a thing or two?) and he told me flat out that a DNA test from any or all of these companies would not give me historically accurate, nor dependable information as to the racial or ethnic origin of my ancestors or the historical race or ethnicity of any historic community. He explained that DNA is expressed radiacally different in each individual, and factoring in that YDNA and MtDNA express quite different dependent on it being a male or female child, that it would be very ill advised to take ANY individual's test results and try to determine what EVEN THEIR OWN individual background is, much less what any single ancestor might have been. He went on to explain further that (example) if you are a male and your mother's father was a full blood American Indian (making you "1/4" Indian) then a DNA test would probably return very little, if any, results for Native blood...or it may return a strong result (he called it a "roll of the dice")...he also cautioned that many companies, instead of running a full DNA will take shortcuts and only run YDNA or MtDNA (which can result in VERY different results from company to company or even with re-testing within the same company)...the most interesting thing he shared with me was an article describing how two brothers and one sister all took "ancestry tests" with the same company and all three came back with widely varied results...'' …

POLICYFORUM
''At least two dozen companies now market “genetic ancestry tests” to help consumers reconstruct their
family histories and determine the geographic origins of their ancestors. More than 460,000 people have purchased these tests over the past 6 years (1), and public interest is still skyrocketing (1–4).
Some scientists support this enterprise because it makes genetics accessible and relevant; others
view it with indifference, seeing the tests as merely “recreational.”
However, both scientists
and consumers should
approach genetic ancestry
testing with caution
because (i) the tests can
have a profound impact
on individuals and communities,
(ii) the assumptions
and limitations
of these tests make them less informative
than many realize, and (iii)…

Hello Russell - Thank you for the welcome message and possible linkage in Arkansas. We know there are several branches of the Douglas(s) family tree in NW Arkansas that had their origins in the Mecklenburg Co., NC but we can not find the missing common ancestor. Thank you for the lead, we will try to contact Roy Stuart Douglas to see if there is an ancestral linkage. Thanks again ---Bill Dolezal
