Corners, It took about four years on this list before I matched up with any of my line. This board is heavily dominated by NC, VA, and PA Campbells. My line entered the US in MA about 1734 and moved West to NY. By 1840's they moved on to Chicagoland. I have found cousins in NY, AZ, and IL so just be patient and stay the course. It helps to repost your line every six months. Cruachan!
