Maybe you could join the Maclellan Clan Project, I think it is a variant of Maclelland. You have done a 67 marker so are eligible to join the project free. I noted that there are about six other

Well, you all have asked for information - and have offered much advice (all gratefully received) - now I'll try to respond. If I miss someone or something I apologize - just give me a poke. To Ray -

Apologies, I had overlooked your statement that Katherine was born on 12 June 1794. There are two recorded baptisms of Catherine Campbell in 1794 after 12 June with father Duncan. Both in Perthshire.

I think Paul, that is a good example of what many of us are facing. I have come to that conclusion some time ago, it is very frustrating. On FamilytreeDNA, I manage my eldest sons Y111 and his

I trust that I am following protocol – I am not a regular participant (but do read a lot of the useful emails!). And I am still a real amateur in family research. Much of my personal family

For what it’s worth, there was a Duncan Campbell living in Montreal in 1967. He was an executive with Aluminum Company of Canada. Might be a descendant of those you are looking for. Penny

Over the last few years, I have used FTDNA for Y25 all the way to BigY700 and also Family Finder. I have found a few cousins and validated some paper records which has been great. I have yet to find a

Valorie - I'm very familiar with the FAN concept and have used it with great success with other branches of my family. However, it doesn't seem to have worked with Duncan. I know he lived in
