Alexander Douglas

Happy to be a new member!

I am looking for the ancestors of Alexander Douglas (my 4th great grandfather) who was born in 1811 in Rowan County, NC. The family tradition is that he was an orphan. He was adopted by the John Yost family who moved to Union County, ILL. I am searching for Alexander's parents and ancestors who trace back to Ireland and Scotland.

This matter has been a mystery for many generations in my family. Your help is much appreciated!

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?
