Hello Ron, Lots of Hamiltons in County Tyrone where the Marquis of Abercorn, who owned 2000 acres around Strabane, was a Hamilton and some of his brothers went to Ireland with him. Try a search at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cotyroneireland/index1.html and try the archives of the Tyrone mailing list at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/NIR/CoTyroneIreland.html I posted a couple of pieces on researching in Ireland a couple of months ago so look through the archives of this site at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/NIR/Scotch-Irish.html Probably the best Scottish site is www.electricscotland.com Rob Doragh Liverpool UK VistaRon96@aol.com Subject: [Sc-Ir] Surname researching Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 looking for needle in a haystack. unknown HAMILTON bc1800 Scotland, emigrated to Ireland, m unknown Irish woman. son John (William) b1831, Unknown, Ireland. m 21 Mar 1858 in Jamestown, Grant Co., Wisconsin, USA.
