A collection of historical and genalogical records
The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.
Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.
Professions also help.
'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.
Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?

Welcome to our Community Network, Mary.
I am unsure as the the meaning of 'Scottish house of Orange'. In the UK, The House of Orange refers to William and Mary.
William II, Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau (27 May 1626 – 6 November 1650) the son and heir of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange and Stadtholder of the United Provinces, and of Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. He married Mary, Princess Royal, Princess of Orange and Countess of Nassau (4 November 1631 – 24 December 1660), the eldest daughter of King Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland and his queen, Henrietta Maria. King Charles was grandson of Mary, Quenn of Scots.
Is this the line you mean?
Yours aye,
William
