My Possible Relation to Dukes of Hamilton Through the Douglas Clan

 Haplogroup I2a2a (M223):

I2a2a-L1193 (British Isles)

All the Dukes of Hamilton since William Douglas-Hamilton (1634-1694) I2-M223 - Hamilton Surname DNA Project. The dukedom is the highest ranking title in the Peerage of Scotland.

1 of the people at ftdna that is closely related to me has the surname Douglas. Thus, I propose a possible connection with the Douglas clan.

The dukedom is the highest ranking title in the Peerage of Scotland.
