A collection of historical and genalogical records
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?

Ahh!
The elusive Lord Archibald Douglas! That is to say that the dates match, so I suppose we are looking for the same person.
If you use the search box (top right) to find Lord Archibald Douglas you will find others on the same trail. So far, the trail does not have a satisfactory end., though these are theories that he is a descendant of Sir William Douglas, 9th Earl of Drumlanrig and 1st Earl of Queensbury who was born about 1582.
