I have been researching the McCaughey Line. I have found out all I can from the US, now I
am stuck. I do not know for sure if my great grandfather came from Belfast or Scotland.
I recently found a lost cousin in the states and she has the family Bible. and it is a
Bible from Scotland. So, all I have to go on is my great grand fathers name John
McCaughey Born 1855 Died in Pennsylvania 1916, his wife Elizabeth Crossman. They had two
sons David born in 1884, my grandfather, who always stated he was Orange Irish, and came
from Belfast. Also his brother Robert born in 1880. They only had these two boys when
they arrived in the States, I assume through Philadelphia in 1886. If anyone can direct
me, I understand records have been destroyed and I really have nothing to go on. I want
desperately to find their parents and know where they really came from. I have written
all the McCaughey's in the Belfast area, only to have one reply, and contacted so many
other kind people,!
however I have had no real clues, or connections.
