Hello Russell. Yes, the same person, now retired and helping my wife with her Scottish family genealogy. Her fathers' Scottish family name is Kidston, and she found that some divisions of Clan Douglas recognize Kidston family as a 'sept', others do not. I plan to provide some information I have gathered about the ancient Douglas-Kidston relationship back to the 14th century and the 'Black Douglas Earls'...will post what I have found on the forum page of Mr. William Douglas concerning Kidston family relationship to Clan Douglas.
Thanks for the welcome, Russell! I don't know if Ralph Erskine is related - I haven't come across him yet. My Ann Douglas (1786-1865) married Samuel Erskine in approx 1803, in Wigtownshire, Scotland. Samuel's parents were possibly William Erskine and Agnes Cleghorne. Does this coincide with Ralph Erskine's information?
there are some extensive researches done on the east coast as people start doing research as something to do. There something I guess I could send you, and that way you might be able to make connection as it is huge undertake. les%20Drysdale%2C%20higgins
I am very upset at what happen in Boston today. It is the innocents suffering. All I can do is pray that the world gets their hands on this violence. Thank you for the welcome. I am wondering for a while now if we are all from one family. My very great great grand father is name William Drysdale is on my mom and dad side, then from his sons anf further down to me. I know there is a David, then a Victoire as well. There was the English who came and develop the east coast. I was born just minutes drive from Douglastown in New Brunswick.There are amazingly a large number of Drysdale in the area where am from . Many of are in different spelling. The Drydelle is one of them. Many Drysdale speak French and are Acadians too. I grew up not knowing that it was my family or I was related. I left when I was 16 to go live just outside of Boston, Worcester a bit in New Hampshire as it is so close to home. There is such a mixture of Irish, Scottish, French even Dutch came down there that after a while we are all the same. I hope we can meet up, I am on Vancouver Island in BC. Talk to you soon Sir.
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?
