Profile Information
- Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
- My fifth great-grandfather was a professional soldier who's family probably came from Scotland to Sweden and then to Finland (1721). He belonged to the officers of his Regiment. Name: Jonas Jerfgreen or Jergreen. The last name has at least been changed and it is said that it is impossible to find out the original, at least it has not been found in the Regiment's papers. The FTDNA Y line gives a distance of 0/12, 1/25 and 4/37 to the Douglass family who lived/live in the following states: Washington (not D.C.), Iowa, Oregon and Tennessee. They probably immigrated to the US from Ireland.
- Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?

1580 , wow - none of my research goes back that far without getting real iffy . Clarks are a difficult bunch to sort out . My earliest Clark [maternal line] appears on Ancient planters list. A Ancient Planter was a colonist in Virginia who migrated before 1616, remained for at least three years and paid their passage, however my Paternal line are the Clarks I am looking for in your neck of the woods .

Sweden recruited many Scots into their armies, and many did well. I think the recruitment drive coincided with internal problems in Scotland, and going to Sweden (and Finland) was an opportunity to escape.
