This database has the potential to help lots of people
with their research
and generate interest in the family and clan.
Thousands, use it each week to research their family history. It is
already a big job that is getting bigger and I could use some help. There
are over 7,700 and 170,000 individuals* in the database. It has the
capacity to grow rapidly as people submit their data.
I would like to start a group of people to help edit
submissions and get them ready to be
added to the database. Also to extract data from books and records they
may have
access to. If you would be interested in getting involved let
me know.
Our goal of gathering, preserving and making available genealogical and
historical
information requires everyone with an interest in the Douglases to
contribute their stories, whether by sunmitting material for inclusion, or
links to where it cam be found.
Or, if you wish to supply the information on disk, please let me know,
and I will supply an address.
Areas that need work are:
- Biographies
- Castles, and places generally
- Battles
- Cemeteries and Headstones
- Histories
- Photographs, images and video
- Regimental histories
- Music and poetry
Additional material could include downloads that would help others with
their research, website design, etc. I am considering introducing a
newsletter, and would welcome an editor. Is anyone willing to submit a
design?
