Hope thats a help...its a family tradition to call all Men in my family 'William Douglas' though 'William' is never used. I can trace Carsons back too 17/1800's, but please bear in mind quite a lot went to Canada. (There was also quite a few who went to England) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
