I am looking for information about Thomas Campbell b. 1880 (?) in
Michigan (Sanilac County). He was my maternal grandfather.
He married Carrie Miller and moved to Port Huron (St. Clair County, MI)
in the early 1900's. They had five children...one of whom was my mother,
Frances Marie Campbell, born 1920 in Port Huron Twp. Thomas died in 1935,
18 months before I was born in 1936 and given the name Howard Thomas
Campbell Le Piors, Jr.
I know that my grandfather had siblings. I know of his two brothers...one
named Robert who lived near Sault Sainte Marie in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan. He may have other siblings and would like to find more about my
Campbell roots. I have no information, at this time, which lineage of
Campbells or generation migrated from Scotland to USA/Canada.
I sure am hopeful of finding out though. I was in Edinburgh for a couple
of days in June 1966 (the day of the official birthday celebration of
Queen Elizabeth II). I remember sitting mid-day on a park bench waiting
for the dense fog to lift when a cannon roared and scared the living
bejeezies out of me. When the fog finally lifted and I had a chance to
behold the beauty of the region, I had this eerie feeling that I had come
home.
Does anyone have information about any of these Campbells in your files?
Also can anyone recommend a good software program which I can use to
database my genealogy?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
