She is my g g grandmother. But while I have her dates, I know nothing else about the Firths at all, though I have some info on the Moffats. I do not know her parents names or if she had siblings.

All my family are from NJ, but I don't know if she is or not, but if not its likely she's from the north atlantic states.

I have just uploaded a family file on the firth family of New Jersey. Most of the firths in New Jersey are descended from John Firth who settled in Salem County in 1699. I do not have an Eleanor in my direct line, but I do not have all the extended family lines in my tree yet. Hope this helps.

Do you have any other information about the John FIRTH of whom you speak? One of my ancestors was a John FIRTH who was born in England and settled in Salem County, NJ. He was a Quaker. I have a little more information about him if anyone has an interest let me know.

I have lots of info. can you access my family tree that i uploaded yesterday? it is kopp/firth. My mom is a firth and descendent of that john from Salem. Our family has always lived in south Jersey in that area. I guess that makes us related. I actually have quite a bit of information even on the english part of the family - I have been doing this off and on for the last 40 years. Let me know if you can access my tree and feel free to ask questions. I would be curious to know where you fit into the tree.

I'd be interested in looking at your tree if you don't mind. I'm trying to find links to the Alice Firth b 1855; her father Joseph b 1813 in Newton,Wakefield...and his father William b abt 1770-90...I tried looking on rootsweb for your tree, but was not able to find it. Is it on Ancestry or Rootsweb? Thanks.

my tree is on ancestry. i have never uploaded anything before so hopefully i did it correctly and you can find it. Let me know if you do or don't.

Hi Pat,
I've been searching but I haven't found your tree.

Hey. I'm just beginning my research. A cousin of mine did a lot, but the 1800s is as far back as I have, so a possible relative in 1699 is too far back to help me at this time. But please let me know if you find mention of Eleanor. You said you hadn't found extended family "yet" so that leads me to believe your research might find them in time. Thanks! (And actually, I know that through my dad's mom's side I have English somewhere, so if Firth is from England, that would make sense, because otherwise all I've gotten is Scottish relatives on that side right now).

If you have found only Scottish ancestors in UK, perhaps your Firths belong to the entirely separate Firth family originating in Orkney, not the family originating in Lilliesleaf (also in Scotland, but spreading mostly in northern England.)
