Fine-tuning a Scottish/Clan Stewart line

+3 votes

I'm a descendant of this line, but I'd really like someone experienced with 16th/17th century Scottish genealogy consider improving this line. The sources seem a little on the shaky side, especially since I see contradictory parental claims elsewhere on the 'Net. There are so many different Stewart branches that I want to make sure I have it straight.

The Stewarts were an Anglo-Breton family! Their original surname was FitzAlan!

Have you found any other sources? Have you found or seen anything that contradicts what is there, with or without sources.  The PM on that profile is active on wikitree,so if you post something in comments on the profile, he will probably respond to you.

Yes, I'm seen (admittedly questionably sourced) online trees with different parents listed for some of the people in the line, etc.

I did some profile improvements on him and his son (adding links to other profiles and making sources inline for example. For the progenitor of the line from Perthshire, I also tagged the Unsourced template with Perthshire. That increases the odds that the Scottish team might pick it up for sourcing. I have Stewarts in my tree (don't all of us with lowland Scots roots), but did not find a personal connection with your line and mine.

If you can be specific with what you find "on the internet" if if perceived as low quality that would helpful.

I've come across a few (questionably sourced) trees on sites like FamilySearch and Geni linking these people to different parents, etc.
