Two years later and still searching for John Cappell 

[jcap7452]

PLEASE HELP!!!! I have searched all of ancestry, my heritage, family search, genealogy bank, wikitree and more! I have been stuck on John Cappell for almost 3 years now. I don't know how to find him before 1877. I don't know how to find any parents, aunts, uncles, cousins or siblings. I haven't been able to locate his marriage certificate or immigration record. I feel I have tried every variation of searches I can think of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Border Crossing on ancestry cover 1895 - 1960 - even those are not a comprehensive list because there were many places to cross the border.  Sadly, there would not be that information available earlier than those dates.
