Hello:

I need help. I'm trying to locate my gggrandfather who came to America from Ireland as an indentured servant. I was told that he came into Charleston. I don't have his name or what part of Ireland he lived. However, I know the name of one of his children, James Percival(pursavill, perceville) Where should I begin in trying to locate information on him?

Secondly, because he was from Ireland, would I have to check slave schedules to try to locate him or would he be listed on the census reports? I know that he kept his name and did not take his owner's last name.

Thank you in advance for assistance.
