I'll definitely look into it. I just checked ftDNA and I'm confirmed H-M82 and i have the 425 = 0 null marker.

Thank you for the wonderful information. At the 67 marker genetic testing via testing I am genetically related to William Bailey from Scotland.

Only to about 1870. David Jerome Campbell, born in Rockingham Virginia. Father to my great grandfather Berkley Mathias Campbell. He was also born there.
I've been reading that it was at that exact location where a Scottish Romanichal family with the last name Campbell settled in the mid 1700s.
Piecing together with my DNA is how I became aware of such evidence for my potential descent patrilineally.

I'd say to assimilate they took on the name of the local clan at the time. Campbell as a name has been around for far longer than my ancestors were in the country. I know the idea of a surname in and of itself is relatively new, also my haplogroup doesn't match a typical Scottish person. I have matches with people from India. I am waiting on ftDNA to decipher and decode my y-dna further.
All evidence seems to suggest to what I am eluding. I just found it very interesting.

They must have assimilated and taken a popular name of whatever village they settled at. I'm not disputing the trace results, I already know that FAQ response, but just interesting how every site I've uploaded my data too seems to sprinkle in that extra designation that would suggest my family was from another area before migrating to Scotland a few hundred to a 1000 years ago.

Thanks for the response. Would my current kits from 23andme and Ancestry work to see if we are a match or do we need to use the haplogroup results?

Great posts everyone! This is so interesting.
My last known Romani ancestors came from Scotland and adopted the popular surname Campbell. I do get trace results of Middle East, North African, Caucasus, Mediterranean, Greek, Southern European and Iberian depending on the site. When i use GEDmatch i usually get close approximations to Greek/Italy. It Should be known on my mother's side i am 100% Ashkenazi Jewish. So not sure how this skews the results.
Anyway I am definitely proud of my background and would love to learn more and spread as much knowledge on to others.

Thought I would chime in. I'm a confirmed Romany descendent of the Campbell clan via Scotland. My ancestors settled in Virginia (or were convicted there, not sure) in the 1700s. This is all new to me but i feel like my family hid this from me because when i brought it up to my grandfather it was as if he knew all this. My haplogroup is H1a1- H-M82. When I do autosomal tests i do get trace % from Middle East, Caucasus, Greek/Mediterranean, Southern European, etc. Which i found odd because I always thought my Dad was German and Scottish. But now i believe these trace amounts are from his Romany background. I've posted my GEDmatch results here. My mom's side is 100% Ashkenazi Jewish dating back into the 1700s.
I just recently ordered the kit for FTDNA because I want to help as many people out with our unique background.
