Norman,
I am collecting bits and pieces of family histories of the Calvin families in Northern
Ireland, and subsequently in North America. My particular branch came out of County Derry
in 1863 to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
A brief genealogy of the Calvin family I believe you are mentioning here is recorded in
"Families of Ballyrashane: A District in Northern Ireland," by the Rev. T. H.
Mullin (Belfast, 1969)
The book, which I found at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, includes this
James Calvin as son of Daniel Calvin and Charlotte McFetridge, and that he married in 1881
Alice Nevin of Ballywillan and emigrated. Doesn't say where to, though, so I was
enthused to see your post.
I have collected some information about Daniel's parents and siblings and their
descendants and would enjoy comparing notes.
