Dear Diarmid,
I have been on a 3 yr. quest to locate information on my Scottish roots. My
greatgreatgrandparent's Duncan Campbell and Margaret(Ferguson)Campbell
were from Scotland. I estimate births between 1825-1840. My father,Richard
Colin Campbell-recently deceased,used to mention Argyll as a possible
location and that we may have descended from theDuke of Argyll. He also
mentioned being related to a Donald Sutherland Campbell? Duncan and
Margaret had a son,Colin D.Campbell in 1861-according to his death
certificate
was born in Illinois. I understand that these are all common names,but would
appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Thomas M. Campbell

Dear Overlook,
Can I make a suggestion? Well, I guess I will anyway.
Those letters sound really intriguing. Why not write to the editor of the
Clan Campbell Society (North America) quarterly Journal and ask her to put
in a note from you asking for any descendants of James William Campbell to
be in touch?
She lives near Seattle WA in USA.
Her address is PACOLSEA(a)aol.com (use caps where shown)
