Welcome to our Community Network, James.

I am sorry if you have had an unfortunate message from 'Joyreal'. This is a spammer who breaks into the network, using different addresses, from time to time. He/she has been banned - again.

Who is your earliest known ancestor? I note that you are researching Douglases in Hawick.  This is an area about which I know little, so it would be good to make some progress.

If I can help in any way, please get in touch.

Yours aye,

William
