Hi Nancy and welcome to the Douglas Archives.

I note that you are interested in the Douglas/Drysdale 1503 connection and have included some info for you below.

May I ask who is your earliest known Drysdale ancestor?

Critique of the Drysdales of Dollar & the 1503 Douglas-Drysdale story

See also "The Drysdales of Dollar" on this site

On the Familysearch website two distinct Drysdale branches and family lines have been set up in their global family tree:

Douglas Drysdale Dollar branch:
Thomas Douglas Male 1448–Deceased • MP4C-15Y

Ingebald Dryfesdale Drysdale branch:
Ingebald Male about 1140 – Deceased • GK18-ZL4

Note The 1503 Drysdale Douglas story is genealogically controversial, its veracity is doubtful and it has been investigated by many researchers in the past.

Best regards

 
 
 

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?
