The hosting service, authorstream.com, for my slideshows appears to have gone out of business.

I will try to restore them using a different method.

My DNA genealogical match dates me to William De Douglas 1174.  My later ancestor, William Douglas of Cavers (second son of Andrew Douglas of Friarshaw) emigrated to the Colonies aboard the good ship 'Henry & Francis' from Leith in the year 1685 during the "Conventing Times".  My lineage includes Pilgrims who came here on the 'Mayflower'as well.  A later ancestor, Captain Alexander Douglas, fought under General George Washington in the American Revolutionary War and the battle of Princeton was planned at his home in Trenton, New Jersey, which has been preserved to this day.  My grand father was a railroad man who came west at the turn of the century from Cape May in New Jersey, the home of the Douglas family in this country dating back to the early 1700's.  My father served in the Marine Corps. during World War II and was a business man in Salt Lake City, Utah.  I flew in the United States Air Force and was an airline executive and business owner in the tour and travel industry before my retirement.  My son Scott R.E. Douglas Phd. is a college professor and his son, Connor Scott Douglas, is presently a graduate student at the University of Northern Colorado.
