Hi,
My great grandmother was Rosa CAMPBELL of Ireland. I don't know when she
was born but am guessing somewhere between 1830 and 1842. Her family was
catholic but she ended up marrying a protestant, August Carl Borchert, on
28 May 1863 in Winona MN. He was German born. Prior to their marriage,
they agreed their male offspring would be protestant and their female
offspring would be catholic. They had two girls and one boy in 1866, 1870,
and 1874.
Rosa CAMPBELL BORCHERT died between 1874 and 1900 - I presume in either
Minnesota or Wisconsin.
I need to find out where Rosa came from in Ireland, when she was born, the
names of her parents/siblings, and the date of her arrival in the United
States. (I have the ancestors and descendants of her husband only and know
nothing about Rosa except that she came from Ireland.)
