A collection of historical and genalogical records
Hi again Michelle,
This publication seems to be the best sourced work on the Kilgour name:
Origin and History of the Ancient Name Kilgour
Best regards
Hi Michelle
While all of the major online Genealogy sites seem to have the Douglas-Kilgour & Mouswald family lines listed, none of them appear to have any relevant source material which backs up those relationships.
ScotlandsPeople - nothing, Familysearch - nothing, Geni - nothing, Wikitree - some sources listed - but nothing relevant
etc
The first official record (transcript of a Scotlandspeople record) I've come across is copied below:
The following publication seems to have been used as a source for much of what is now online:
CHARLES KILGORE OF KING'S MOUNTAIN - A New History of The Kilgore Family

This name relationship was also looked at by the CDSNA see attached pdf.
Best regards and good luck with your research
Thank you, Michelle, for giving us details of your ancestors.
I am having some trouble connecting 'Kilgour' with Mouswaldand will have to dig deeper.
Here is a reference:

Welcome to our community, Michelle.
Do let us know when you hve identified your earliest Douglas ancestor.
Yours aye,
William
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?
