Good Afternoon, 

I have finally been able to trace my Bell family to a Thomas Bell 1731-1795. He and his family arrived in Charleston, SC from Ireland in 1768 on the ship Brig Lord Dungannon. Here is where I have hit the brick wall! I do know that he was born in Ireland but who his parents are remain a mystery. Do any of you have any suggestions of where I may look for this information?

Hello I am trying to get any information on John Bell b.1814, d.188. He came to NB Canada from Northern Ireland around 1830s. I have a lot of information about his family 1840s thru1881 in St. George NB Canada but not much prior or of any family members that stayed in Canada after his death.

My Bell's are from Cullybacky, near Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland.  Robert Bell married Jane Millar and they and their five children emigrated to Canada in 1847.  Are there any Bell's out there from this part of Ireland?  I beleive Jane Millar's parents were John and Agnes
