Jean,
Alexander came to America about 1830-1831 from County Tyrone, Ireland.He obviously went to Canada first as his entry into the US was in Vermont.The interesting thing is that he signed his naturalization application as "Alexander Culberson".His father James A. also signed "James Culberson".Essentially, that is all I know about our heritage and only discovered this in the last 6 years or so.Alexander's older sister's obituary talks about growing up in "Gartacastle", County Tyrone, Ireland.The closest I can come to this is Gortacashel in County Tyrone and the pronunciation of this makes sense.Always looking for a breakthrough.
