Messages have started coming in in response to posting our "Campbells of
Nelson, PA & Related Luggs & Blackwells" family tree on RootsWeb.
The first several were "false alarms". I.e. inquiries to see if names
in our tree were matches to people the researcher was looking for, --
but comparison of additional details showed they didn't really match.
The one 'hit" so far was data from a Pease researcher about Weldon Reed
Pease' ancestry, and Wendel's daughter was able to answer a question for
him. So, some good has already come from it.
The big payoff will be when cousins we don't know how to contact, or
ones we have never heard of find their ancestors in the tree and contact
us. It will also be good if people we do know of send in additions or
corrections -- as Jim Costley, John Dunham, Betsy Johnson Gorman, Larry
Huffman, and Betty Davis Phillips have already done. Apologies if I
left any names out of that list.
I'll send additonal messages when there's news to report.
The current version of the tree has additional Blackwells, Callahans and
Gambles.
