2. [Clan DOUGLAS] Re: Douglas history ( repeat ) [1]
The name; Opinion is that is derived from the Gaelic "Dubh Glas" pronounced Do-glas which means black or dark water and refers to the river that runs through the area were the family originated, not uncommon for a family to adopt the name of a prominent feature in their area. The Clan: The Douglas's originated as a lowland clan, settling in an area of South Lanarkshire, today known as Clydesdale, the word "clan" means family and it worked on that pri

Hi April, The marriage having taken place after 1855 would mean that the certificate can be obtained from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk ( it was a legal requirement to register all events after that date ) From that you will get his mother and fathers name, her mother and fathers name and where they lived and both their occupations It will also give you their ages from which you can search the OPR's for births, and to find family, knowing there ages will let you search the pertinent census retu

Hi Steven, Good to hear from you and thanks for your mail. You can post any enquiries you may have to CLAN-DOUGLAS-L@rootsweb.com Usually people researching their family tree ( surname Douglas ) post there, anticipating some other researcher has a mutual ancestor, or can offer advice on how to progress another's research. As already remarked this is a fairly quite list, and so to generate traffic I would welcome any enquiries or postings on the origins and history of the Clan

Hi Dorothy, et all. You ask some pertinent questions that might be helpful to other people on this list. Let me try and explain.

Hi all, My grandfather had started our family tree before his death although I have only found his work of late. He only got as far back as the late 1800's and I'm hoping someone will have more information on my family tree. If you have any information about John Douglas who married Martha Buchanan on Jan 11, 1889 I would appreciate receiving it. They would have been born/married/died in Scotland although I'm not sure which area - perhaps around Glasgow. Thanks April
11. [Clan DOUGLAS] My husband's line [1]
Although we are not able to "prove" that our Robert of Norwalk is the Robert, son of Francis and Isabel Seton (Winton) Stuart, there is quite a bit of evidence such is the case. Assuming this is correct, I have Francis' parents as Francis Hepburn Stuart and Margaret Douglas. I have her born about 1563, and would like a better date if possible. I have Margaret Douglas as the daughter of David Douglas and Margaret Hamilton. I have David's parents as George Douglas and Elizabeth Douglas. Elizabet

Meanwhile, thanks for your posting, (it mya start the ball rolling again) and good luck in your "!happy hunting" and kind regards.

Hi Robert, and all As administrator of this list I can assure you I am certainly here. It saddens me to see people subscribing and then nothing! Surely if you subscribe the first thing to do is post your interest's with the intention of connecting with somebody of similar interests and as yet I have never seen a post of this nature. Not being a Douglas I originally posted to offer help to anyone requiring background and history of the Clan Douglas, there was a brief exchange of
