Carman,

There is a discussion about John here: http://pub32.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2687235007&frmid=5891&msgid=1010182&cmd=show

You might also find this article about research myths useful - though I am noy saying that this story is not true, just that we need to be careful.

Welcome to our Comunity Network, Carman.

I have a note of:

Douglas John Virginia b1683  Indentured servant 1692

There are numerous references to a john Douglas, variously described as an indentured servant, and as a someone who was press-ganged onto a man-of-war, and who married a native American.

Do either of these sound familiar?

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?
