If you have a DNA test and a family tree in the form of a GEDCOM please consider a submission to the Project so we can obtain the widest coverage possible for Campbell related lineages.

Also if you have time to volunteer, we are seeking people to help us verify and correct submissions, generally date formats, place name conventions, sources citations etc. The Project also needs help at Wikitree. If interested just use the contact form and let us know!

Eventually one of the families associated with that name would become the Chiefs of the Clan. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent.
