John, I was told i was probably connected to this family line also.. Ive heard the same stories of them coming from Ireland. Do you have a William Copeland born in 1801 in your list? census says in North Carolina but you never know if it was South Caroline. I was told the State lines moved and thats why there are differences in the census'. Makes sense..

I'm having some difficulty locating John's parents, grandparents, and siblings. I am hoping to connect with other members of this family who might know more about John’s origins. I have seen some information which states that the Copelands originated in Ireland before coming to PA and SC, and my ultimate goal is to trace the family back to their origins in Ireland or the UK. Does anyone on the list have additional information on this family? Thanks in advance for any help, Christopher --------------------------------- Want to start your own business? Learn how on Yahoo!

Hi Carolyn, Thanks for the reply. I checked my family file and I don't have a William b.c. 1801 unfortunately. I just started my research on the Copelands not too long ago, though, so if I stumble across William at some point I will pass that info on to you.
