there is the site. It's all about the devlin family!
If you click on "list of individuals" and scroll to Campbell, Elizabeth that would be me about 3 years ago.

pretty interesting stuff.

Okay.

I have a hugely demanding hobby in doing genealogy! That has taken a back seat to my new hobby, Yorkies! At any rate, I have traced my ancestors as far back as England in the 1500s and Norway in the 1800s. Norweigian genealogy is pure torture!

I am from one of the orginial families that left England and settled on Tangier Island. It is an island only 3 miles long in the Chesapeake Bay, VA..family names were Parks, Crocket, Pruitt..there are no cars on the island, only bikes and alcohol is not allowed..many of the people still speak with an olde English dialect..
I still have family living there...

My family is from Spain, traveled from Spain to Cuba by ship in 1896 where they settled and became farmers. My father, who never like farming, came to the United States in the 1940's to continue his studies (he was a scholar). He was suppose to go back to Cuba where he planned to obtain a position in the capital city of Havana... BUT... a week before he was due to return, his friends threw him a farewell party where he met a beautiful young lady (my mother)... that was it... He never returned except to visit.

It is a very simple way of life...there are no stores, only homes, a school, small hospital, churches, summer cottages and a couple B&B's...you have to take a boat to Crisfield, Md for everything..people make their living off the water..soft shell crab capital of the world...
Very quaint, but all my brothers and sisters left..the life of a waterman is very difficult.

My mom is real big on genealogy (sp?) and family history. My ancestors come from all sorts of countries/cultures. I know I am related to Benjamin Franklin(we are actually related to his sister thrugh marraige) and we are also related to Francis Scott key (the guy who wrote the star spangled banner) and also Patrick Henry.
