Looking for information on my g-g-g-grandfather and am hoping someone on the list can help or offer suggestions as we have been trying to find where he was born for years with no success. John EARL/EARLE b.1811 in Ireland (information from US census record). He came to the US - probably New York, unknown date. He married Lucinda WILKINS abt 1831, she was born 28 Jan 1810 in New York or Upper Canada. They moved to Ontario, Canada where all their children were born. (He may have moved to Michigan at a later date, as that is where Lucinda is listed on census in 1870, but John is no longer listed with the household so may have died before then.) **Additional information: John EARLE was a Presbyterian minister. Any information or suggestions on where to look for more information would be greatly appreciated. Is this surname common in Ireland? Any particular county more so than others? We have not found him yet on any passenger lists. Thanks for any and all help. Marcy Redmond, Oregon USA
