Oh..Ok. Well if you find what county in Ireland ......let me know. My COPELANDs came from Fermanagh County, Northern Ireland. In searching Ireland (northern) I found COPELAND was NOT a common name. I go back as far as James COPELAND who was born in 1750 near Smithborough, County Monaghan. Abt 1775 James married Elizabeth Henderson and moved to Lisbellaw where they had 7 sons and 3 daughters. One...Hugh COPELAND- my gg grandfather. I am in the process of trying to find out if James had brothers and/or sisters....and his parents names. From James down I have accumulated alot of info. If I comes across any info that looks revelant to your George.....Ill let you know. Sue in NY
