Hi Meg, You wouldn't perhaps have anything listed for a William Colwell/Calwell who lived in Larne and came to the US somewhere around 1851-2 with wife, Jane (Jenny), and children, William, James, John, Ann, Thomas, Hugh, Joseph, Robert, Archibald, and George (although I don't know for sure that all of them came at the same time). Thanks for checking. Bob. In a message dated 4/13/2008 7:45:02 A.M.
