Euphemia (aka Effy or Effie ) Campbell
« on: Sunday 26 August 18 14:44 BST (UK) »
Hi! I am looking for any information (which I know might not be likely) on Euphemia Campbell born around 1802 in Kilfinichen. She married Hugh Livingston in 1829 and lived with him and their family on Croft in Achabeg and then Lochaline. She immigrated with her kids in 1851 to the U.S. 

I am looking for any information on who her parents might be and where exactly she was born.

Thank you!

Kristen

The 1829 marriage shows her as Effy and SP has a few Effy Campbell births between 1795-1800.

Thank you for responding :D

Effie's birth dates vary across multiple sources but her headstone notes her birth at 1802. Whether or not that is correct, who knows.

I have found birth/baptism records for all of her kids but two. I have good information on Hugh's side of the family but I was hoping somewhere I could locate information on Effie's parents.

I appreciate your information :D

Oh and I should ask. I know what SP is (Scotland's People) but I'm not familiar with FS. What does that stand for?

Thanks!
