My husband's ancestor, Andrew Hackett, came to Pittsburgh, PA, before 1850;
he was born in Ireland. He married Eliza Trax, daughter of Frederick Trax,
who was born in Alsace-Lorraine. Andrew & Eliza had a son, David McCandless
Hackett (my husband's grandfather), who lived and died in the Pittsburgh
area. David married a Nicholson, whose father, Hugh Nicholson, also came
from Ireland.

Someone sent me a family tree about another Hackett family, who settled in
or near Youngstown, Ohio. There was also a David McCandless Hackett in that
family. This line supposedly came from west of Belfast.

Any connections?
