I figured it might be nice to add at least one Henry IV/Douglas reference. Personally, I thought this to be rather well read and moody with the ambient music behind it.

I studied this a school, but strangely have no recollection of the Douglas mention.

Here is a nice little mention of The Douglas by Shakespere!

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?
