As a member of Clan Campbell, whether you
possess the name Campbell or a sept name, you
are blessed with a proud heritage that can be
traced back many generations. It is a goal of
the Clan Campbell Society, North America, (CCS,
NA) to help you, and others, learn more about
that heritage, to rediscover the old traditions
and keep them for following generations.
The CCS, NA is a society for Campbells, those
with Campbell family, or sept names, and friends
of the clan. It is a part of the International
Federation of Clan Campbell Societies, the arms
of which can be seen in the flag above.
The Society is an all-volunteer organization,
with the membership electing officers and
trustees. The Society maintains a library that
includes historical, literary and genealogical
materials pertaining to Clan Campbell. A
genealogy program is an integral part of the
Society: members share whatever genealogical
information they have on their ancestry, and it
is entered into a database. The most tangible
asset of membership is the quarterly
publication, the Journal of the Clan Campbell
Society (North America).
Society representatives hold the title of
commissioner. This is because they have been
commissioned by our clan Chief to represent the
clan. One is born into the clan: one becomes a
member of the the Society by paying dues.
The Clan Campbell Society, North America,
divides the continent into fifteen regions.
Region 1 includes the six New England States.
Your state commissioners and some of their
spouses can be seen above. Drop them an e-mail if
you have questions, or visit them at a Highland
festival near you.
After reading through these pages, we hope
you leave having learned a little something
about your Highland heritage. For we take to
heart the motto of our clan Chief:
Ne Oblivisaris - Forget Not |
