A collection of historical and genalogical records
The English garrison in the village of Douglas were at church one Sunday morning feeling all holy with themselves, when Douglas and his men surrounded the place, and reeked revenge on them which would go down in history, and frighten the lives of the any soldier in Longshanks's English army. The painting depicts the point where Sir James has just put a match to them.

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?
