    Welcome to our Community Network, Jens.

    William Douglas born 6.6.1688 in Schippenbeil, Poland, is supposedly the son of William Douglas, of Dundee, Scotland, as you probably know, but I have him recorded as the son of William Douglas of Achland, reputedly descended from the 5th Laird of Drumlanrig. The only Achland that I have been able to trace is/was in Wigtonshire.

    It will be interesting to see if anyone else is following this line.

    Yours aye,

    You have just sent me a document which indicates that William Douglas, born 6.6.1688 in Schippenbeil, is a descendant of Douglas of Arkland.  This is a Kirkcudbrightshire family, mentioned in various legal documents. Many appear to have been called John, making the tracking of generations tricky.

    I will have a look around and see what I can turn up.
