Comment by Duncan Brown yesterday

The fire and fury of the Douglas story was the inspiration for this painting which came from my old friend, the Scottish author Nigel Tranter's books. I played pipes at his funeral in January 2000, and still miss him. Indeed I think the nation still misses him. I'm glad he wrote it all down for us.

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?
