I found a Campbell! :(
Permalink  
 

I have been interested in my family history for decades.  It became a time-consuming hobby for me in the 1990s and by 1995, besides helping my husband find his roots, I was assisting others by working as a volunteer on AOL's genealogy forum.  (Also, and now I'm bragging  wink I was the editor of the Dallas Genealogical Society's monthly newsletter for a year, taught a session at a genealogy workshop in Northeast Texas, and wrote a weekly beginning genealogy column for a local newspaper a few years back!)

All that is to explain that I shouldn't have been too surprised to find a certain surname in my family tree.  Just a week or two ago I was looking over some research that a local historian on Skye did for me back in 2007.  I had tucked the Word doc. away to look at in depth at a later date.  Since I have a cousin who will be visiting Scotland for the first time this fall, upon his request I was updating my data to send to him when I re-discovered this file.  My John Lamont (b. 1838 in the parish of Durinish) had a great grandmother by the name of Christy Campbell!  She married Patrick MacRae.  (They were probably born ca. 1750-1760 on Skye.) 

Anyway, we shouldn't bad-mouth those Campbells too badly.  The Lamont Clan book and personal history tells us that there were times when Campbells and Lamonts loved each other . . . or at least married one another!  ;) 

Happy hunting!

Jill,

It happens in the best of families, I and some of my cousins on this forum (who shall remain unnamed) also have Campbell blood in our veins.  I will admit that I have it, it is the result of a Patrick - Campbell marriage.

I have four different Campbell bloodlines in my heritage, two on my father's side, one is through my Lamont ancestors and two on my mother's side of the family.

Yes, I know least three other (who shall remain unnamed) forum members on this forum who have Campbell blood through this same Patrick - Campbell marriage. 

Many of us with Scottish blood descend from many of the clans.  I think I would be fun for everyone to list the clans they descend from.

I have Clans Lamont, Campbell, Campbell of Cawdor, McGregor, Blair, Brown, Bruce of Airth, Bruce of Stenhouse, Wood, McAlpin and Gospatrick in my heritage and several others too numerous to mention (I can't remember them all, I'm going to write them down one of these days).

I hate to say it my grandmother being a Burden. However, I have been doing my family history and genealogy and they and other lines in my tree were also corrupted with that blood.

Some of us have to carry that burden with us (no pun intended).

I have three autoharps. I want to learn some Scottish music and find two more people near me in Newport, Tennessee who want to research their Scottish roots and learn to play Autoharp. I want to hear an Autoharp choir, similar to the bagpipe players from Scotland who spread out over Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky and played Amazing Grace. I love that sound. It must be in my genes. Some people cannot stand to hear bagpipes. My maiden name was Burden and I understand that one of the definitions is the drone of a bagpipe. Also, I love to sing. I am pleased to meet you. I am new to this forum. Dad always told me we were from the Lamont Clan.

Tell me more, my maiden name was Burden. I am a descendent of a James Burden who was a Revolutionary War soldier who settled in Nicholas County, Kentucky after the war. This is where I was born and raised. I now reside in Newport, Tennessee. My father was Maxwell Evans Burden. His third cousin was Karl Rosenberg whose mother was a Burden from Nicholas County. Karl Rosenberg spent a lifetime tracing his mother's side of the family. When he retired he published his findings in a book beginning with James Burden, the Revolutionary War soldier. He listed numerous descendants he had knowledge of, had corresponded with and visited over the years. My father has helped many people find out more about their families over the years. He had the greatest respect for his father, Joe Jarrett Burden, who was a hard working humble man who I remember as a man of few words--words which would cut like a knife when spoken and remain indelibly etched in my brain to this day. He loved to study history and would visit all the churches and was very good at stimulating meaningful discussions. I don't know as much about history as I would like to know, and my father and grandfather have passed on, but I have children and now a grandson who need to know about their families and about history, so here I am...tell me more...

My daughter, Susan Burden Stewart, married Jared Oakes and they reside in Irving, Texas. She is very interested in genealogy. Are you in the Dallas area and do you still have classes?
