Profile Information:

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
Drumlanrig Castle, from the 9th century until now.
Kilgour/ Killgore/ Kilgower, ...
I was a Kilgore from the line that migrated to Down Ireland from Edinburgh, Abberdeenshire, and area.
I had absolutely no idea that my DNA showed Scottish, 27 percent, and 5% Prussian or German.
3 percent Irish, some Wales 1%, and the rest is British ancestry. I also have 0.09 % Black. A man, named David Ali is my 5th cousin, maybe 6th. He may have been adopted.
What are the issues with my ancestors, and claiming the Douglas family as their own.?
Seems that information has originally come from good sources.
I do have Scottish ties to the Royal family. The castle, Drumlanrig, was where my family is said to have lived for many generations.
I have a tree that traces it on familysearch.org.
Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?
I will check, and get back on that.
