Ny teknik spårar Douglasklanen tillbaka till 1000-talet
"DNA is being be used to profile the great lines of the Douglas Clan. We can now prove our link to the earliest Douglases and to each other.
This is done by testing males who can trace their lines right back to William Douglas (c1174). These males carry the Y DNA of William (c1174) almost unchanged since the 10th century. The mutations which have occurred will show the divergence of these lines.
For those modern lines of Douglas who have lost their links to the old Douglas lines, this DNA may provide the means of re-establishing their roots. They can test the DNA of their families and compare to the DNA of those known to descend from William. This will establish which lines have the matching DNA. Conventional Genealogy can then be focused into the correct area to find the individuals making the link."

Family Tree DNA - Douglas
"Surnames:
Douglas, Douglass, Douglas-Scotti, Dowglas, Dowglass, Duglas, Duglis, Dugliss, Scotti, Scotti-Douglas
Background:
This project has arisen because many modern Douglas families have lost their genealogical connections to the Old Douglas lineages. Many of us can trace our families into the 1700s or even 1600s, and have family stories linking us to one of the old lines. But because of migration or lost records, we cannot find our Scottish ancestors or prove our descent from one of the old lines."
