Lilly and List, Nice summary of DNA Testing. I am the Campbell DNA Project Coordinator. While our web site (http://www.waltier.com/dna.htm) is out of date, our project is alive, well, and quite active. In fact, the Campbell Project has 113 participants and is roughly 39th in size of the 2,000+ surname projects listed -- so we're in fact one of the largest DNA projects. Many members of this list have participated. I am also intimately familiar with the National Geographic project. (http://www5.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/) The Genographics project charges $99 for 12 markers. If you go to FTDNA directly, then the charge is: $99, $169, or $219 for 12, 25, or 37 markers respectively. I actually recommend the 25 marker test initially. Below are the oldest proven ancestors for our current participants (birth dates in parentheses) . Please note that these ancestors are asserted by the participants themselves and have not independently verified. - Kevin Campbell PS - You can join the project at the following URL http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_det.asp?group=Campbell&projecttype=S ======================================================== Lyman Campbell (1815) of Cuyahoga County, OH James Campbell (1811), Fayette Co., PA Israel Campbell (1810) of NC Thomas Edward Campbell (c1899) of WV John Campbell of New York Henry Franklin Campbell (1844) Ontario, Canada Campbells of Auchinbreac, Scotland Reuben Campbell (c1802) of SC David Campbell (c1802) of PA Patrick Campbell of St. Catherines, Scotland Col.
