"I do not have access to my files at the moment and so am unable to help meantime. However, you should note that Jacobobus is Latin for James, and so you should be searching for James.  However, on official documents recording land transfers,…"

Jacobus Douglas (illegitimate earl)

I found out through ancestry that my 15th great grandad father is potentially Jacobus Douglas (born 1500) looking into him further I found out he was that he was the illegitimate son of Sir William Douglas 6th Laird of Drumlanrig. When I looked into Jacobus more I found out that he moved down to Yorshire which matches my tree on ancestry that states he was born in Drumlanrig and Died in Halifax.

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?
