Descendant of Charlemagne, Emperor of the Romans.
Biography
For almost as long as I can remember I had a love of history, which is now extended to genealogy. It seems I have inherited this love of history, as my great-grandmother, Genevieve (O'Connor) Driscoll, wrote a family history book in the 1940s that documents descent all the way to the Mayflower and beyond, and I am working to upload much of that work to this website to preserve it. During that time I found out that I can trace my ancestry all the way to Charlemagne via a minor Dutch noble family (Roosa) who settled in New Amsterdam, later New York, and also possibly (depending on your definition of brother-in-law) via an English noble family which settled in Virginia. I have a major in Anthropology (which comes in handy in genealogy) and a minor in Business Information Systems from Central Michigan University.
My main goal at the moment is to trace my ancestry as far back as I can in the paternal line, but it appears I have reached a dead end in William Douglas for now, so I am doing what I can to contribute to other branches of my family and Wikitree. I also really like listening to podcasts about history and science and while doing so I sometimes transcribe information from old written genealogies and also personnel information from US Civil War regiments into Wikitree which has led to a large number of contributions.
DNA
My Y-DNA Haplogroup is R-FT370604, which I discovered via a Y-DNA test from FamilyTreeDNA. I also have taken an autosomal DNA test on 23andMe and uploaded that info to MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, and GedMatch; my GEDmatch Kit Number is M055274.
- Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on MyHeritage consisting of Richard Douglas, Christopher Douglas, Donna McDonald, and Melody (Landis) Isaac, who share a 20.8 cM segment on chromosome 8. The most-recent common ancestors shared by all four are Nathaniel Powers and Jerusha (Hart) Powers.
- Paternal relationship is confirmed by a Family Tree DNA Family Finder test match between Chris Douglas and his 2nd cousin Sarah-Marie Bellou. Their most-recent common ancestors are Wayne Ellsworth Douglas and Florence May (Myers) Douglas, great grandparents of Chris Douglas and great grandparents of Sarah-Marie Bellou. Predicted relationship from FTDNA: 1st Cousin - 3rd Cousin, based on sharing 314 cM across 56 segments.

We're so happy to see you are still active on WikiTree and caring about the Dutch profiles. The Dutch Roots Project is looking forward to give the project a new fresh start to put the Dutch in a more prominent place on the WikiTree map. The project is currently managing over 50,000 profiles and the total number of Dutch profiles on WikiTree exceeds 500,000! Within the project we are monitoring the quality of the Dutch profiles and assisting other WikiTreers in producing those profiles. We would love to pick up some other tasks but to do so we need more volunteers. This is why we check in with the members of the DRP to see if you would like to help us expand.
1) Would you like to do some volunteer work for the Dutch Roots Project? 2) If yes, what kind of work would you prefer to do within the Dutch Roots Project? E.g. translating, sourcing, or something else you want to work on?
We hope for a positive reaction but please don't feel obliged to volunteer. We just want to have a group of persons we can ask to help us with certain activities
Kind regards,
Margreet, on behalf of the Dutch Roots Project

Never mind, I just noticed you added son Richard and there is some justification there, just omitted when the parents were changed. Still find it odd that Alice's brother was riding out collecting taxes in 1294 though. And then there's the 1255 grant. Are two generations mixed up here? More research may be needed.

In the meantime stay well, stay safe and happy hunting. Best regards.....Phil (Grace-883)

On behalf of the Germany Project, I am currently undergoing our member check-in's and wanted to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project.

When removing profiles - its helpful to place the profile IDs in each of the profiles affected. After time, comments are moved further down the page and the Changes page can be two (or more) pages long. Noting the removals in the biospace helps future Wikitreers.
