Description
The purpose of the Campbell Surname Project is to create analytical links from Campbells around the world and our original ancestors in Scotland. The project will endeavor to establish DNA reference lines such as the historic Campbell lines and draw DNA inferences to present day Campbell descendants.
The project will also attempt to link early US Campbell immigrant lines. These Campbell lines are generally genealogical brick walls of the early 1700s in one of the original 13 colonies. Special emphasis will be placed on the early Scotch-Irish migration of the Campbells to Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas in the 1700s.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
