This website is for the descendants of 3 intertwined families — Campbells, Luggs & Blackwells, all of whom are connected to Nelson, Tioga Co., PA. There are now more than 10 generations of descendants, at least 10,000 living — many of whom are not aware of their connection. We want to facilitate reconnecting — and getting to know one another while reconnecting with our roots.
We started as a RootsWeb mail list in the 1980s. Then added a family tree on RootsWeb’s WorldConnect pages. In 2000 we re-instituted a Campbell Reunion in the Nelson, PA area — (the reunion had long had Lugg and Blackwell participation). We created, and continue to add to, a family history website that has more than 500 hundred pages of photos, old letters, news-clips, diagrams and info on people and places in our past. We created a Facebook group, which at the moment has about 300 members. We’re migrating our family tree data to a huge, shared tree, on WikiTree.com and have added more then 5,700 people to WikiTree so far.
Last year we created our own YouTube channel. And, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, held our first video-conferenced reunion (via ZOOM). And we're about to launch our own blog. Explore our past - and our present.
