Michigan has death certificates from 1876??? I've not been able to get any
before 1911 in Kentucky. I thought that was standard. Vicki

I am glad to see some activity on the list again and wish I had
something
to contribute. My family line begins with James Calvert who was born in
1806 in Virginia, married to an Eleanor McPhadon or it could have been
McFadden since I have not found the former name. She was born around 1801,
also in Virginia. But, on her death certificate in 1876 in Michigan, it
states her father Patrick was born in Ireland and her mother in
Pennsylvania. I am not sure when they got to Virginia.
All this talk about DNA makes me wish I could go dig up my g.g.
grandfather and get
some DNA so we could maybe find out exactly where our
lines come from.
My g. g. grandfather James migrated on to Belmont County, OH. and from
there to
Michigan.
Wish I had more of the early information. My mother said her mother (the
granddaughter of James) always said the family came from England.
We have the usual Leonards in our family, in fact there were several of
them.
