Profile Information:

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.: All areas of Douglas history and genealogy are of interest to me.

I am keen to track back family lines that are considered 'brick walls', and hope to be able to do this through the networking opportunities that arise through media such as this.

Hi William,

James Mitchell Douglas had his full name recorded on his birth record and on his death record, for the rest of his life he called himself James Douglas.

In early 1852 he was recorded as possibly being the Owner as well as the Master of the vessel Isle of Wight of Glasgow (Lloyds register of Ships 1852)

Best regards

It has been ages since you asked for more on my family. I am told the family left Scotland from Thurso. I took my mom to visit two of the family homes. One in the Minneapolis, Minnesota region the other in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We also went to the Douglas crypt in the Oak hill Cemetery, Cedar Rapids. My Great, Great Grand father, amongst other family members, is buried there.
