François P. Sutherland was born in September 2000 in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Belgium. On his mother's side, he descends from the Glorieux de Dottignies family, a line of landowners who were burgomasters of Courtrai (the family included burgomasters, aldermen, politicians and farmers in western Hainaut and descended from Sire Jehan Glorieux, Ecuyer, Officer at the Court of Mary of Burgundy, Princess of the House of Valois-Burgundy and titular Duchess of Burgundy, as well as the Dezutter de Saint Maur family (which included ceiling fitters and other workers originating from Flanders) who allied themselves with the Chantry de Saint Maur family, descendants of Marc Chantry, Baillif of Wez-Velvain (b. c.1550 ) around 1860.
On his father's side he is descended from the Sutherland family of Thurston (a branch of the Sutherland clan who held agricultural land in the hamlet of Thurston near the village of Innerwick and the town of Haddington under the Hunter family of Thurston Manor, lords of the region) and the Hainaut family (family of soldiers and merchants who made their fortune in the coal and fruit trade) as well as
He was an active member of the Scouts of Belgium for 12 years and practiced choral singing in a choir for 10 years.
His Scottish ancestry comes from Eugene François Sutherland. His paternal ancestors were the owners of Thurston Home Farm. His great-great-great grandfather Francis Sutherland (1847-1923) was an estate manager and worked with noble families such as the Muntz family of Umberslade Hall (distant cousins), the 5th Earl of Rosebury (distant relative), or the Herbert family of Llanarth (distant cousins), managing in general, the workers, i.e. the management of the forests, woodlands or parklands, and his workers (his favourite area).

Thanks for your contributions to our tree.
I see that you have been adding pre-1700 profiles tonight using "Family papers" as your source. This is not an adequate source for pre-1700 profiles.
Would you please review the Reliable Sources for Pre-1700 Profiles page.
Thanks,
Dave
I have sent you a private message and look forward to working with you!
Thank you for contributing to the tree. Per item 8 in the Honor Code we cite sources. If you look at the Sources FAQ you will see that "family information" or "Scotland's People" by itself is not a source. You may find more information on the Scotland Project.
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles!
It’s very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many WikiTree members, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
Best wishes for your research

Thanks for adding so many profiles already. I have translated some of the locations into the language of Scotland, as is our convention. You might be interested in more tips on Scotland and Scottish sources on the project's page.
