Welcome to our group, Wendy.

Is this your family?

James Douglas
Born 26 Dec 1691 in Dalkeith, Mid, Lothian, Scotland,
Died 26 Sep 1741 in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland,
Son of James Douglas and Ann Dunbar
Husband of Jean Farquhar
Parents of William Douglas, Hugh Douglas, John Douglas, George Douglas and Marion Douglas

I have this note, but they are not yet in my database.

How does James William Douglass (1740-abt 1814) fit into the family?

The earlier James Douglas would appear to be the Duke of Hamilton  How does he connect?:

Yours aye,

William

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?
