    Welcome to our Community network, Geir.

     Jens Wagner-Douglas is also researching this line.  I note that I said that I would try to find out more, but have to admit that i have not yet done so.  Perhaps you can add some information?

    Yours aye,

    Here are some notes that i made.  I do not suppose this is anything new to you:

    List of Scottish Settlers in Königsberg (Queensbrig), Memel and Tilsit.
    In Schippenbeil (Eastern Prussia, S. of Königsberg): Douglas, Will. (1695)

    G. Douglas, a native of the small town of Schippenbeil near Konigsberg, was Presbyterian clergyman of Jerichow, in the district of Magdeburg, from 1758-1772.

    I would welcome a translation of this Douglas biography: http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz11756.html  I have a version here: http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/hugodouglas.htm

    but would like to do better.

    Yours aye,

    William
