Profile Information

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
Isabella Charlotte Douglas. Born 1725 at Bothwell Castle. She married Benjamin Fortner after leaving Scotland and coming across to America as a teenager (18, 19, unsure). She was initially sold as an indentured servant but fell in love with Benjamin and he bought her out of her servitude and married her. I come directly from that Fortner line.

Welcome to our community, Taryn.

The Douglases in Georgia have a good website which might help you.

Searching in this network (top right) should also throw up some useful connections.

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?
