I don’t know where James was born.

he was apprenticed in Surrey (England) an worked there.

The apprenticeship taxation record gives his father’s name as John.

tears ago my grandmother Sid the Douglases originated in Scotland. My grandfather died while I was a baby.

my termminal haplogroup is R-BY46957

and I have done big y

The only thing I got from y -111 was that my closest relative who was in USA originated from Scotland via Northern Ireland

Our connection is probably way back

Project Name: Douglas DNA research autosomal and YDNA
Kit MP6246591 added to Douglas DNA research autosomal and YDNA 
about 35 members in the project now
BOB DOUGLAS MP624659 gedmatch kit compare at 5 CM
Bob Naomi is my 1st cousin 1 x r
Pat and Annette are her daughters and my 2nd cousins
 we have Glenbervie red Douglas lines 
 and James is in our lines our brick wall is a John Douglas! 
 above our Margaret Douglas (she married george Tower)
I think there was a son James too
where was your James Born?
 the MRCA is 7.5-8 generations ago which would fit 
I will also do a 4cm compare , I will probably show up in that one

Thanks Bob I will go and add you , seeing you are a Douglas and have done your YDNA have they not confirmed the line via your haplogroup?
 you must have only done a 69 or 111 level Ydna not a BIGY ?

I have applied to join the project. The second box to fill in, I have not answered as I couldn’t see what I was being asked

i have done DNA with Ancestry and 23 and me, and uploaded to other sites.

I have also done Y dna and big Y at family tree dna

I cannot yet tie in to any historic Douglas lines

we need any member here who have DNA tested autosomal/ Family finder DNA on familytreedna.com FamilyTreeDNA ,
 ancestry.com (are the 2 preferred DNA testing sights for Gedmatch comparing (only one ged kit per person)

however any other site which is compatible with GEDmatch gedmatch.com which is a UNIVERSAL DNA comparing site for most dna companies

and I will introduce new members who have joined the DOUGLAS ANCESTOR PROJECT on Gedmatch,
and theres a link to both facebook page and this website on this gedmatch Douglas ancestor project

GEDmatch is a platform designed for genetic genealogy research. It allows users to upload their DNA data from various testing companies (like 23andMe or AncestryDNA and the DouglasDNA project on FamilyTreeDNA.com) and compare it with a global database to find potential relatives and explore their ancestry.

Here’s how it works:

Take a DNA Test: Use a DNA testing service to obtain your raw DNA data.

Upload Your Data: Create an account on GEDmatch and upload your DNA file.

Explore Matches: Use tools like the "One-to-Many DNA Comparison" to find relatives or the "Admixture Tool" to analyze your ethnic background.

GEDmatch is popular among genealogists, adoptees, and researchers for its ability to connect people across different DNA testing platforms. Would you like to know more about its features or privacy policies?

Robert William Glode Douglas DNA Project

Can anyone help with the Robert William Glode Douglas DNA Project?

The project is no longer listed on Yahoo, its former home.

Does it still exist?

Files can still be found in the Douglas Archives if you are studying this family:

I have done a Big-Y test, about a year ago or more.  I am descended from the other son of William Douglas than Duncan.  Somebody wrote that this would be helpful.

I am recovering from COVID at the moment and not firing on all 8 cylinders.  Let me know, specifically, what I need to do to give you access to my test results if access is needed.

FTDNA kit no. 78820 (going from memory.  Dangerous!)

Comment by Bruce Stewart Morton on August 4, 2022 at 19:02

My aim is to prove kinship with the Douglas line(s).

Over the years I have used FTDNA for Y-DNA, mtDNA and Autosomal tests. My last test was Big-Y which has taken me to R-B123 which appears to be out on a limb on its own!

FTDNA have the largest database of Y-DNA results. Not cheap, but worth it if you want to delve into your male line.

I don't regard Autosomal testing that much since with a test and a surname you might get back 4-5 generations.
