Why is it when we have a "discussion" on this site, only the first couple
of people are tolerated to discuss, then everybody else is told to change
the subject or drop it? Doesn't everyone deserve a minute to share their

I don't want to belabor this thread, but it seems to me that the
"correct" way to pronounce someone's name is the way they want it
pronounced. I pronounce it Cambul, but know people in upstate New York
who pronounce their name Camp Bell. I have never tried to convince them
that they are pronouncing their name wrong. After all, it is THEIR
name.
My mother-in-law (being from upstate New York) always introduces me even
after forty some years as Jim Camp Bell. However, she pronounces the
Campbell Soup products as Cambul. Go figure.

Hi, Folks,
It most certainly IS off-topic, and is a form of a chain letter. Such
letters are NOT good for email systems -- they clog them unnecessarily.
While this one _may_ have some merit, it is only common sense. You should
not be forwarding messages like this.
Ask yourself how JCPenney sent the message to only Female Associates?

I am trying to find the county/town Lyman S. Campbell was born in, according
to the several federal censuses, He put his birthplace, New York. His father
was born in Vermont. His birthdate is ca. 1815. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Nancy, it's pronounced Cambell in Scotland -- even in the Orkneys.
The Camp bell must be a regional thing.

Looking for EauClaire County, Wisconsin Campbell line. Along with that line
one would find Eaton and Macomber lines. Specific names that I am looking
for are John T. Cambell born in 1879 d. 1930. John was married to Olive
Myrtle Macomber. I would appreciate any information anyone can share with
me.
Thanks,

My family is from Kentucky. They pronounce it CAMBELL. The word is
spoken quickly and doesn't reflect any pauses to indicate it is a
compound word. Therefore it is always being mistaken CAMBEL or CAMEL.
Many place names in the US are intentionally mispronounced relative to their
British or other European namesakes. My grandfather, who lived near Madrid,
Maine always said that Ma drid' was in Spain, Mad' rid was in Maine.
Similarly, the Thames River which passes by New London, CT is pronounced to
rhyme with James. I suspect that surnames have been massacred for similar
reasons in some cases.

My Campbell's are from N.E. Indiana and N.W. Ohio. They all refer to
themselves as "Camel's". In fact they even use a picture of a CAMEL on their

I have a question which has bugged me ever since I found out my husband's
mother was a Campbell. How is the name pronounced in Scotland? My
husband's family lived near the town of Camp Bell, NY and the family
pronounces the name as CAMP BELL! I never heard this pronounciation
before. I say it is pronounced like the soup, Cambell. Can anyone settle
this for me? I don't want to start a feud in the family, but I refuse to
pronounce it CAMP BELL!! Nancy Page (no one misprounces that!) Richings in

Hi Linda -
Could you tell us a little more about your Ontario Campbells (Names, time
frame, etc)?. I have a Charles CAMPBELL, born in May 1850, parents were
Charles (maybe John, or John Charles) CAMPBELL and Margaret
MC(G)LAUGHLIN. Charles is listed as being born in Canada on several
records, and his naturalization record in 1872 in Pennsylvania states he
was a native of "Canada West", or Ontario.
