Researching Douglas history and genealogy
Few of their successors died in their beds! Our website charts the history of this famous family, both in its native Scotland, and as family members spread across the world.
The main site is divided into two sections: Douglas history and Douglas genealogy.
In the networking area, we hope that all those with Douglas connections will feel able to contribute and debate their Douglas heritage.

"The contents of the Douglas Archives have probably more than doubled since this tread began.
If you have not looked for a while, maybe now would be a good time to see if there is more on your Douglas branch.

Starting Sept. 30, 2014, Genealogy.com will be making a big change. GenForum message boards, Family Tree Maker homepages, and the most popular articles will be preserved in a read-only format, while several other features will no longer be available, including member subscriptions and the Shop.
I, for one, will be missing the closure of the forums, to which i have contributed over several years, both posing questions and providing responses.

ContinueIs Legacy responsible for incorrect data on the Internet?
Posted on February 5, 2014 at 2:35pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
For years I have been blaming The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose 'Ancestry' family trees are - or were - notoriously difficult to amend, and hence never were.
This year, Millennia Corporation will be celebrating their 29th year in business, and the 17th year since they first released their Legacy Family Tree genealogy software.
Legacy is a feature-rich package that lets you chart family trees, record details about individuals, and otherwise track your family…

ContinueAncestry.com, and the spread of misinformation
Posted on February 19, 2011 at 7:46am 4 Comments 0 Likes
I have received yet another enquiry based on family trees hosted on ancestry.com which contain wrong information.
Now, I am not for one moment saying that everything on my family tree, freely accessible on the internet (though not right now, but that is a different story), is 100% correct, but my database allows anyone to 'Suggest' corrections. I have, for example, recently made a major change based on outcomes from DNA research
However, correcting something on Ancestry is a…

- It's apparently the Genealogist's Bible...I first read about it on a group on here called Best Books for Genealogy. It highly recommended it and every reference I have found to it since insists that it is the best reference for Genealogists as far as research standards go.

- Mr. Douglas, Please allow me to assist you in finding the genealogy groups you were looking for in the Surname database. This was a very large undertaking, please be patient. I have not added links to either site, yet to all of the genealogy groups. However, the majority of those groups can be found on my homepage:
http://genealogynetwork.angelfire.com under the heading "Genealogy Groups". The page does not allow right clicks - you must click through. If this bothers you, you may also visit this site, to frequent the genealogy group that is researching your surname interest. The majority are Yahoo Groups. Let me know if I can assist further with these groups or your surname interest.

- I wish I had more details on my Flora Douglas. I don't even have dates for her. Something to work on when I go to the Family History Library in May.

- Thanks William for the “welcome” to the site.
My mother was a Douglas daughter of Hugh born 1879 Wallacetown St Quivox Ayrshire – father was William born 1848 St Quivox- family were grocers at 11 Content St. Up to about 1901.
I have the family back to John Douglas (about 1772-1853) and Janet Brown (1777-1876) . John Douglas farmed at Carston Stair Ayrshire for 68 years. My stumbling block is the parents of John Douglas; my research leads me to believe he may have been the son of Mungo Douglas (b 1734) Scarhead New Cumnock and Elizabeth McCaig (b abt 1746 at Dalleaagles). Would you have anything leads or pointers?
Regards Carolyn

- I checked out your TNg website and am very impressed. Of course I'm very new with my genealogy website. On my Dad's side I have several lines that go back to England but most of them came over to America pre-Revolutionary War.
