Hello! I am searching for my ancestor who was from County Tyrone or County Antrim. I know very little about him. Name is HUGH CAMPBELL. I believe he was born in January 1829, in Tyrone. Do not know his parents' names. He immigrated to the U. S. (New York) prior to 1854 during the Famine and then moved to New Orleans where he became a citizen in 1867. He married in the Roman Catholic church in New Orleans. He had sons named Hugh, Jr., Patrick, and William; daughters named Rebecca, Mary Alice, Elizabeth, Caroline, Winifred, Emily, Isabella, Irena and Jennie. I'm hoping these names would be one of his parents' names. Any suggestions as to how I could find his exact birth date and parents' names? Thank you.
