Douglas dna

A group for those who are using dna to trace their ancestors.

The intention is NOT to replace the existing dna group, but to facilitate discussions amongst those who are not part of that group.

    My aim is to prove kinship with the Douglas line(s).

    Over the years I have used FTDNA for Y-DNA, mtDNA and Autosomal tests. My last test was Big-Y which has taken me to R-B123 which appears to be out on a limb on its own!

    FTDNA have the largest database of Y-DNA results. Not cheap, but worth it if you want to delve into your male line.

    I don't regard Autosomal testing that much since with a test and a surname you might get back 4-5 generations.

    I have done a Big-Y test, about a year ago or more.  I am descended from the other son of William Douglas than Duncan.  Somebody wrote that this would be helpful.

    I am recovering from COVID at the moment and not firing on all 8 cylinders.  Let me know, specifically, what I need to do to give you access to my test results if access is needed.

    FTDNA kit no. 78820 (going from memory.  Dangerous!)

    Robert William Glode Douglas DNA Project

    Can anyone help with the Robert William Glode Douglas DNA Project?

    The project is no longer listed on Yahoo, its former home.

    Does it still exist?

    Files can still be found in the Douglas Archives if you are studying this family:
