Hi, Connor.
I am trying to write up an article about the Douglas Township in Nova Scotia.
It was apparently named for Admiral Sir Charles Douglas. My entry for him records that both Douglastown and Douglas, Nova Scotia, are named after him. Douglastown is presumable the former Township, but where is the other?
How is your family research progressing?

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?
