This review is from: Craighead family: A genealogical memoir of the descendants of Rev. Thomas and Margaret Graighead, 1658-1876

I have used this book at several libraries and found it very interesting and informitave in Northern-Ireland life and reasons for moving to America.

Although I was looking for Genealogy on my wife's side and this book ended about the period of time we had traced to, it is written in such a way that I found Great Grandfather's siblings names but it listed him with a different wife and two daughters. All relatives told us that was not him as Great- Grandmother was his only wife. We have sence proved the book was correct and in his later life after Grand-mother was killed in a trolley car accident in Kansas City he remarried a third time but had lost all ties to our family. His Obit confirms this.

This book than became much more interesting as it related the life and times of hundreds of Craigheads and their friends as they moved to and around this great county of ours. It is hard to understand the hardships incountered by early day Americans from any part of the world.
