I can update my profile but I am not real computer savvy when it comes to navigation of the site.  My information to you is not private nor personal so if you want to enter it go ahead.  +My first contact in Switzerland 30  years ago was Renzo  Scotti, this is what I have:  Giuseppe Antonio Scotti, b. 12 July 1778 in Brasca, SW. d. 6 Feb. 1864,  wife Maddalena Menetti b, 1774, Italy, D. 11 Oct. 1863 Sw.  

Inocente Antonio Scotti, b.6 Aug. 1740 Lugano, Sw.  wife Teresa Menotti

Giovan Antonio Scotti, b. 1704, died 7 Dec 1774, wife Francesa DeCarlis. 

I do have info on Francesco Scotti, no dates, I found in buried under  research---

Feancesa's  father was Gerolamo DeCarius.  Some of this old spelling  & dates may  not be 100% correct, All were from records found in Italian that I had transcribed years ago. 

I have had a root around, but nothing has come up yet.
The name 'Giovanni Batista Scotti' Douglas is not uncommon, so others with the name do appear, so there is likely a connection somewhere.

Here is an example:  Giuseppe Scotti was born on month day 1888, to Giovanni Battista Scotti and Anna Scotti (born Massa).

Thank you and it looks like we both are at a stalemate.  I will stop for now till I have more time to think about all this information.  I am remodeling my home, so I have to get back to that for a while.  I will let you know if I come up with any new information.

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?
