Hello to all who read this note. Thank you so for taking the time.
My Great Grandfather Elijah A Campbell (B. May 1833 - D. May 1875) , believed to be the son of Joseph Campbell (B. abt 1800 - D. unk) came from Drumgoon, Cavan, Ireland. I have been told that Joseph's wife was named Jane.
It is my understanding that he came to the U.S. with his uncle Henry Campbell (B. abt 1800 - D. unk for now). Henry's children were all born in Drumgoon as follows: Elizabeth B. Jul 1826, John William B. Jul 1828, Benjamin B. Feb 1831, Jane B. Aug 1833, Adam B. Jun 1836, Henry B. Feb 1841, Margaret Anne B. 1842, Henry B. 1846.
All of Henry's family seem to be buried in Brooklyn, New York, USA. We are working obtaining death cert. for all above. Should anyone reading this need more info.
I know that Henry was the Uncle of Elijah. I am hoping that someone there can lend me a hand on that side of the pond...
I am also available to help with searches on this side.
I do hope I have done this correctly.
Merry Christmas and a very safe and happy New Year to all who read this.
Respectfully,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Yes. You've done it correctly ... almost  What denomination were the Campbells?
I presume Great Grandfather Elijah (B. May 1833 - D. May 1775) actually in May 1875.
I hope you have a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.
Christopher

Hello Steve, and welcome to Rootschat!
My great-grandmother was Elizabeth (Eliza) Campbell, born 1852 somewhere around Belfast, and emigrated to Montreal in 1873. There also seems to be a connection to Monaghan, possibly a Campbell who married a M'Caldin and produced a baby photographed by the Allison studio in 1902 in Monaghan.
I haven't been able to find anything concrete, but Drumgoon isn't far from Monaghan. OTOH, there are LOTS of Campbells in Ireland, particularly around the border area.
Well, good luck in your search, and if anything of mine sounds familiar, let me know 
Cheers,
China

Hello China,
My great-grandmother was Elizabeth (Eliza) Campbell, born 1852 somewhere around Belfast, and emigrated to Montreal in 1873. There also seems to be a connection to Monaghan, possibly a Campbell who married a M'Caldin and produced a baby photographed by the Allison studio in 1902 in Monaghan.
I am sorry, China. My Elizabeth (born 1826) married a M J Robertson from Main and died in Brooklyn, NY.
The family were all in the US (Brooklyn Area) prior to the War Between the States (U.S. Civil War).
Thank you so very much for your in put.
Respectfully,
Steve

Oh China,
I meant to ask... Have you thought about doing a DNA test. They have test for the maternal and fraternal lines. Many of the Campbell line in the US are listed with Family Tree DNA and/or YSearch.com.
It did connect me to an individual in the Belfast area. Which went along with what I found through genealogy so far. I only wish more in Ireland and Scotland would test. It is the future of Ancestry, I think.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information.
Respectfully,
Steve

Hello Everyone,
First, please let me thank those of you that have helped so far. I can not tell you how much it means to me.
I must say that all the religion involved with genealogy there, I being from the US find very unusual. But I am learning the history of the area little by little. I being a Roman Catholic was surprised to learn that my family was not. Gosh, genealogy has so many twist and turns.
Well... my latest up date is that Joseph Campbell (b. abt 1807) along with his brother Henry and Henry's family were from the town of Cootehill. We did find a birth record of one of Henry's children "Benjamin” in Cootehill.
We also found a court record of Joseph being assaulted in 1847 while his 13 year old son watched just outside of Cootehill. It seems that he was a painter and glazer in the Cootehill area.
We still believe that he and his wife Jane died there. I am still looking for any help that I can get.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any help you may be able to give.
Respectfully,
Steve Campbell
