I apologize if I overstepped any bounds. In the past 15 years that I've been on these lists, I've never seen it matter who called a roll call or when. Someone seemed to call for a roll call in the subject line - but I found I was spending more time trying to decipher the subject line, than I was bothering to read the body of the e-mail. Figured it was easier to put it in plain English and call it a roll call! LOL Have you tried researching the British Army records for Campbells? Not sure if that will help. Ebay does have a LOT of Scottish Records on Cd's for sale. These CD's have a lot of old books, records, miscellaneous blurbs and such from various sources. They can have some wonderful info in them. As I start going through all the CD's I've bought, I'll sure keep an eye out for your Dugald and Annie Campbell... and the Island of Islay. Have a blessed day!

Sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass. On other lists, the Administrator has given Royal heck to anyone who dared issue a Roll Call without approval. I thought it was Rootsweb Protocol. What do I know?? Thanks for your suggestions. No. I haven't tried British Army records for CAMPBELLs. There are so many of them that that seemed to be chasing ones tail. On the Rootsweb Islay List, we've been decrying the lack of records for over a decade. The priests were very causal about such things. Several "Gatherings" of descendants have been held. It is a very cohesive, helpful group. Thanks again for your suggestions.
