We have hundreds of Campbell names that we are tracking and only a few
nick names to go with them. We are working with legal documents such as
deeds, wills, census, etc,and they do not contain nick names. Our Scottish
pattern of naming out off springs has gotten in the way and there is nothing
we can do but work with it,. There was just not many nick names passes
around.BH
