Title: FORBES FAMILY
Post by: PJ Campbell on Saturday 17 August 13 15:11 BST (UK)

Hi there, I'm looking for help on the Forbes Family from County Antrim.  I haven't got much information unfortunately, but was wondering can anybody connect a James Forbes who went to America in abt. 1802 and Charles Forbes whos daughter Nancy, born 1831, married Alexander McCurdy in Toberkeigh Pres. in 24/5/1849.  Alexander and Nancy went to America in 1849 and were neighbours of Margaret Forbes.  Is there a connection of possible cousins between Nancy and Margaret?  Are James and Charles brothers?  I also have an Eliza Jane Forbes on my family tree, born 1763 and died 1868 , who married a James McCurdy. 

Any help is greatfully appreciated.

Many thanks
