Amazingly, this post is already showing on Google!

This seems to be the family, but no William: http://www.geni.com/people/John-Douglass/6000000009902999628

Have you had any success at Scotlandpeople?

Maybe there is more for me in this link geni.come.

I still looking for more info about Mary Douglas born abt. 1766, Ayrshire and married to David Hastings snr.
I know they had 10 children, born either Cumnock or Kirkconnel.

Geni.com refers to some Campbell and i know i am related to some Campbell, who is again related to Mary Douglas.

I don`t know if John Douglass is in family with Mary Douglas, but it is still interesting.

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?
