The purpose of the Campbell Surname Project is to create analytical links from Campbells around the world and our original ancestors in Scotland. The project will endeavor to establish DNA reference lines such as the historic Campbell lines and draw DNA inferences to present day Campbell descendants.

The project will also attempt to link early US Campbell immigrant lines. These Campbell lines are generally genealogical brick walls of the early 1700s in one of the original 13 colonies. Special emphasis will be placed on the early Scotch-Irish migration of the Campbells to Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas in the 1700s.
