This is what I have also been told by individuals I have talked with at the Celtic Festival that a city near me has every June. I once belonged to the Campbell Clan Society. They have a webpage that could shed some light on it for you. I always felt like I had to have some Scottish or Irish blood in me because I love the sounds of the bagpipes and the celtic harps. I didn't know I was until I did my research. I have since learned that I am definately Irish and suspect the Scottish blood. Oh, by the way the Clan Campbell Society of America, if you join, will help you with your research in Scotland and Ireland. It might pay off to join and it isn't all that expensive and the festivals are so much fun. My kids love going to them and learning about their heritage. The Scottish sword dance is a sight to behold and the bagpipes send chills up and down my spine. I just love it all. According to my grandmother, my family is related to Robert Burns, the Scottish poet but I haven't got my Burns family back to the Old World yet. Cathy Brown Hicks
Dear Cathy, Would you mind submitting your pedigree on here. We too are supposed to be realated somehow to old Bobbie Burns, but I cannot find it either. I would like to view your pedigree though.
