An introduction to the Douglas Archives

 

The Douglas Archives are, at the time of writing, a collection of almost 2,500 files containing material, some still un-edited, from a wide variety of sources. New material is included almost daily, though not necessarily published immediately. The result is a dynamic archive of biographies, anecdotes and historical material about the Douglas family.

Some of this is open to challenge, and, because it is often un-verified, must all be taken 'as seen', and so any researcher using the material is strongly advised to double-check  its accuracy.

Discussion, corrections or contributions through our Community Network, or by using our Contribution form is welcome.

Finding your way around the Douglas Archives may be a little confusing!  In addition to the Community Network, There are two main sections: the historical section and the genealogy database.

Whilst some, brief, biographies can be found in the genealogical database, most are in the historical section.  Many biographies contain links to other family members, battles in which the person may have fought, or places they are connected with. Keeping all these links live (there are over 25,000 of them) is difficult, so if you come across a broken link, please do let us know. The historical section contains recent history as well!  Recent events involving family members is included as we come across it.

The database contains records of over 160,000 people, who either are close members of the Douglas family, or are linked by marriage to them. There are a lot more 'cousins' than there are Douglases!

Our lists include many variations on 'Douglas' as we include the wider Douglas family.
