What a fantastic bit of history to have hanging on your wall!

Comment by Cara Douglas on Tuesday

I didn’t realise my photos had downloaded. That’s why there was no explanation. I purchased it as auction last week. I had no idea what it was depicting at the time. I’m thrilled! it is hanging on my wall.

How interesting! Thank you for sharing.

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?
