<p><em>Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.</em> <br></br> For Myself , Sept name , Drysdale, in particular , William Drysdale and wife Helen Renny both [supposedly] born 1730s , Dunfermline , Fife , [supposedly] married Jan 22 1748 in same place. I easily use ''[supposedly]'' because out of all the crap I have reviewed so far , nothing has shown me an actual document of birth or marriage for either William , or his wife Helen .</p>

<p> About 6 years ago I found an alternative spelling of the name Drysdale , definitely nothing new , but new to me and my research ... '' Drijsdale '' Apparently Dutch , according to Encyclopedia Britanica ''TheDutch language, also called Netherlandic or Dutch Nederlands, in Belgium called Flemish or Flemish Vlaams, a West Germanic language that is the national language of the Netherlands and, with French and German, one of the three official languages of Belgium.'' I am not a scholar , I am not the sharpest tool in the shed but I do shine every now and again.</p>
<p> 8 years ago I ran across this Passage in a book called</p>
<p>the Barons of Dryfesdale I believe it was ......</p>
<p>'' -- In the latter part of the sixteenth and during the <br/> seventeenth centuries there were a great number of <br/> Scotch in Holland, engaged in the wars principally, <br/> fighting on both sides ; there are a number of families <br/> in France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Prussia, etc., <br/> who are descended from Scotch military adventurers <br/> of that and earlier times. There was also a consider- <br/> able trade carried on between Scotland and the Low <br/> Countries from an early date,settled in Fife , one of <br/> the chief counties from which trade was carried on, <br/> and during the seventeenth century there was quite a <br/> number of Dutch in that county (Scotland) ; their descendants <br/> are found there at the present day. In one coast <br/> town — Dysart — there was a specially large number <br/> of them, and the town was known locally as " Little <br/> Holland." __''</p>
<p> Thursday , July 18th 2019 , while looking over some info , I had a brainstorm of a thought ,</p>
<p> Drysdale, in particular , William Drysdale and wife Helen Renny ... What about </p>
<p> Drijsdale, in particular , William Drijsdale and wife Helen Rennij ???</p>
<p>Trading the Y=IJ .... hmmmm.... worth looking into . Purely speculation at this point on Renny.</p>
<p> In print like this, text it is highly noticeable however in cursive both branches of the'' Y '' have a . above them , but looks like the same name</p>
