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?

Good morning Dorothy, thanks for answering my mail, I am also related to William Douglas. I believe he is my 10th great-grandfather. It's unproven as the story goes my grandmother Fannie Marksberry, whose father was Samuel Keaton Marksberry and his line goes to Samuel March. The first the Marksberry's claim that Samuel Marksberry, senior was actually Samuel Douglas. Who was this youngest son of William Marksberry. The story goes that around 19 Samuel left home and changed his name using using the title Marcus Queensberry. By splitting it in creating his new name. I have not been able to prove that this is true. But I do know that my DNA is dead on with the with the Douglas family and they intermarried with the Stewart family and I'm dead on with them to. I am still trying to learn how to read DNA but I'm getting better at it everyday. I live in central Texas. What state do you live in or are you from another country. The great weekend. Jack
