You (R-FT194071) and Clan Campbell (R-FGC10125) share a common paternal line ancestor (R-Z39589) who lived around 1700 BCE (3,700 years ago).
The Clan Campbell is an ancient Scottish Highland Clan, currently seated in Argyll and deduced from historic writings to have arrived in the early 1200s. The first historical reference to “Cambel” is “Gilascoppe Cambel” found in a land record near Stirling in 1263.
Today, the Campbell clan chief is the Duke of Argyll who you can often see working in the gift shop at Inveraray Castle, the Clan Campbell home.
