Title: Sir John Campbell first Earl of Breadalbane and Holland
Post by: hardsocks on Tuesday 29 December 15 20:28 GMT (UK)

Hi Everyone
I am researching my Family History my Daughter came across a photograph of Sir John Campbell
and the likeness to me is uncanny it like me wearing a wig. My question is how would I follow
this search to see if I was related to Him ? I am Thomas Campbell.

You should follow the usual conventions - work backwards from what you know.  Then see if it connects with him using documented sources like parish registers, wills etc.

Hi,

Can you give us some info. of your direct line (deceased names only) with dates/areas connected to your area of research & dates for Sir John Campbell/parentage.

Do you have any of your family born/living in the same town who match up with Sir J?

I haven't been on "Go ogle" to find out about him but you would need his parentage etc. to find a link if there is one & as L Nell mentioned, step-by-step backwards or upwards on your family tree ladder.
