In Scotland in 1968, Claire tells Roger Wakefield that Geillis Duncan was his ancestor and that she was burned as a witch in 1743.
The mysterious Master Raymond is a "prehistoric time traveler." Not much is known about him, but he is thought to be a common ancestor of both Claire Fraser and Geillis Duncan.
Geillis (Lotte Verbeek) is the first time traveler that Claire encounters in Outlander. After Claire first time travels to 1743 Scotland, Geillis suspects that Claire is from the future.
How does season 1 Claire know Geillis is from 1968. She says it in The Devils Mark during the witch trails. Claire herself is current from 1945.
Like Claire, Geillis Duncan was also a time traveler. Geillis was constantly questioning and probing Claire for more information; it was as if she knew Claire didn't belong in that time period. During the witch trial portion of the series, Geillis finally understands that Claire is from the future.
William Buccleigh MacKenzie is the illegitimate son of Dougal MacKenzie and Geillis Duncan, and was raised by William John and Sarah MacKenzie.
It's possible that Amelie's sister is the one who gives birth to the line that leads to Claire. Fergus will still be an ancestor but not a direct ancestor and that would mean Laoghaire isn't one of Claire's ancestor.
Roger is a descendant of Geillis and Dougal's son. Roger has Geillis's green eyes and inherited her ability to pass through the stones. He meets her in 1739, having traveled through time in search of his son, Jem.
In Scotland in 1968, Claire tells Roger Wakefield that Geillis Duncan was his ancestor and that she was burned as a witch in 1743.
Geillis' Duncan's Death in the Books
Of course, Claire doesn't know that yet (in the books or the series). Instead, she simply gets a vague feeling of being connected to the bones, and that the woman didn't want to die when she did.
In Outlander Season 3, Episode 13, Geillis gives Claire a quick rundown of the events that happened. Geillis gave birth to the baby, who was given to William John and Sarah MacKenzie, the couple whose baby had been “taken by the faeries.” After that Dougal was able to smuggle her out. That's really not that surprising.
“I curse you. I curse you with knowledge, Jack Randall. I give you the hour of your death. Jonathan Wolverton Randall, Born Sept 3rd, 1705, dies…” she whispers in his ear, and suddenly he knows that she's telling him the truth.
He was the illegitimate son of Dougal MacKenzie and Geillis Duncan.
Claire asks Lord John if he believes she (and Brianna and Roger) are from the future, to which he says that he doesn't, but that he will behave for all appearances as though he does.
His descendants–a few of whom he meets now and then in his travels–have the blue light about them, too; in large degree or small, depending on their talents. So he knows Claire, when he sees her, as one of his great-great, etc. grand-daughters.
Margaret's vision produces the following information: "When twice 1,200 moons have coursed, 'tween man's attack and woman's curse, and when the issue is cut down, then will a Scotsman wear a crown.” To put it simply, it's Brianna, the baby who was born 200 years after she was conceived.
“He's about 25,” Gabaldon said. It's an interesting response. If you're up to date on the series, then you know that Jamie is not dead at the age of 25.
Murtagh is often mistaken for Jamie's father, but he is actually his kindly godfather. He is not married and hasn't fathered any children.
Brianna and Roger are distantly related, as they are both direct descendants of Jacob and Anne MacKenzie. Brianna is their great-granddaughter through their daughter, Ellen, who was Jamie Frazer's mother. Roger's ancestry goes back directly to Jamie's uncle, Dougal Mackenzie, who was Jacob and Anne's son.
“Remember, the English were enemies of the Scots, and to allow an English woman to marry into the clan would be viewed as treasonous by many, and the Laird would not risk his legacy.” This was part of the reason Dougal himself didn't marry Claire, as well as the fact he was married at the time.
It's kind of too early for Claire to discover Geillis, and in the books by the time they meet, Claire already knows that Mrs. Abernathy is responsible for Ian (and other boys) being kidnapped. Also, Geillis has definitely aged and is suffering from syphilis, so there's that as well.
Following the witch trial, Geillis confesses to being a witch. In the way she puts forward her confession, she completely absolves Claire of any involvement she might have had in wrongdoing towards the community.

He may never have called Jamie “Dad,” but Jamie has been the only father figure he's ever known. He's always looked up to Jamie, and this moment shows that Jamie continues to respect Fergus and call him family. There are sadly some who wouldn't view adopted sons and daughters in the same way as biological ones.
