William, thought to add the links below. to the sources of these COA's & mottos I found. So you or whomever interested could investigate further, if they so desire. There were quite a number I had never seen before & were rather hard to find.

Douglas of Milan

Descendants of the Scotti-Douglas family of Piacenza, descendant of Bernardino, mayor of Milan. Among the distinguished exponents there are:

•  Brantino Scotti (XIV century), jurisconsult;
•  Antonio Scotti (14th century), son of the former, was treasurer of Estorre Visconti, lord of Monza;
•  Ludovico Vincenzo Scotti (17th century), count of Colturano and of Vesano;
•  Bernardino Scotti (1656-1726), cardinal, son of the previous one. He was the last exponent of the family.

All these similar looking COAs are from the Blasonario subalpino / Coat of arms of subalpine families.

Making conections

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?
