Altho most of our subscribers are interesed in the family of Joseph
Campbell (1748 - 1822) and Mary Harper (1749 0 1844) of Scotland and
Nelson, some are interested in Tioga Co. in general, other families, or
in several cases, in some of the unrelated Campbell lines in Tioga Co.
A while ago, I promised Cathy I would write about some of the other
Campbell families of Tioga County. This one happens to connect to our
CAMPBELLs via RICEs.

For me, the hardest part of genalogy is connecting each person with the
correct set of parents. Because so many names are dupliates, that's not
always easy. Ther are so many George CAMPBELLs, Samuel HAZLETTs, etc.
Some of you may have paired up child and parent differently. If so,
lets now worried about WHO is right, just WHAT is right.
