I think you have a great idea; especially since my Mitchells are not Southern as far as I can find. My ggreatfather, John Mitchell, is in Minn. in 1850-60-70 and was from Ireland. I've found no Mitchell in this site from Minn. I've tried to find him in Canada but no success yet. I may be wrong, but I do think he probably came to Canada first. (John & Nancy McCoy Mitchell.) Anything will help! Betty

My Mitchell's were also from MN, but I don't recognize any of your names. Perhaps as we go farther back there will be a connection. I'll keep there names and will let you know if I run across anything in my searches. If you would like to send me any info, I'll run it through Ancestry.com, if you are unable to. That also goes back to Ireland and has immigration information. Have you tried it? www.Ancestry.com . Let me know what happens. By the way, my ancestors are William Mitchell and Violet Olson line. ----- Original Message ----- From: <BGCAPorter@aol.com> To: <MITCHELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 7:24 PM Subject: [MITCHELL] Re: MITCHELL-D Digest V03 #56 > I think you have a great idea; especially since my Mitchells are not Southern > as far as I can find.
