"That pretty much nails it -- Ringstead Northamptonshire is 50 mi from Haverhill, closer than Ringstead Norfolk -- in other words the two Ringsteads are both well within the general area from which the Puritans emigrated.  So his wife's…"

"Y DNA and religion suggest not Scottish and most likely from East Anglia.   Greater precision would have to rely on paper genealogy. Ringstead is about 50 miles from Haverhill, Fischer's center-point, a good day's horse ride, and if…"

Robin Spencer commented on William Douglas's group Descendants of Deacon William Douglas, b1610
"Pilgrims (i.e. Mayflower) were not the same as Puritans.  Puritans origins were strongly in East Anglia:  see Fischer, Albion's Seed, map p 32 and quote p 31: "A circle drawn around the town of Haverhill [Suffolk] with a radius…"

"Deacon Wm Douglas's religion is also suggestive:  he was a Puritan, a member of the First Church of Boston -- not a Presbyterian.  This also makes him more likely to have been from East Anglia rather than Scotland."

"Just a few notes on Bill Hough's post on BigY results. The Douglas project STR data has a very tight group for the descendants of Deacon William Douglas 1610, with tMRCA about 10 generations ago and no other Douglas connections back to ~400 CE…"

"I am happy to help with any reasonable question of DNA genealogy.  What exactly is your question?  (I can't help but notice that you have left the identical urgent message for more than a dozen others)"

Robin Spencer replied to Bruce Stewart Morton's discussion Morton - links to Douglas
"Septs sometimes show up in STR clustering, so I pasted your Y STR data into the large Scottish Y DNA project with the results above:  your nearest common ancestor lived about 30 generations ago (~1000 AD) which links you to one kit claiming…"

"I can put a bit more detail to the brick wall that surrounds Deacon Wm Douglas.   First, I found that kit #N11063 has done BigY DNA testing and is clearly among the Y lineage descendants of Deacon Douglas.  So I pasted N11063's…"

"I would ignore the Klyosov work for two reasons:  first, as someone who has claimed that Out of Africa is false and that modern humans arose in Russia, his credibility is questionable.  Secondly, his analysis is based on Y37 data which is…"

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?
