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?

Hi Susan, I think we are researching the same John Douglas b. 1764 in Surry Co, NC. Many of my cousins have given up researching this line, but I'm still plugging on. :) Hopefully we can make some progress.
Welcome to our group, Susan.
I have this note:
Alexander Douglass married Kezziah Riggins on 21st May 1749 at St. Pauls Parish, Stafford Virginia. Deed book H shows Alexander and Keziah in Granville NC by 1768. Note the double ss.
Does that seem right? Or is her name Regan?
I also have a note that Alexnder Douglass (1729-1762) married Keziah Regan (1727-1762). He was the son of Alexander (1709-1754), and she the daughter of Wiliam Regan (1690-1744).
What do you think?
William
