    Naomi is an enigma. If Campbell is her step-father’s name then Pearline Ming can’t be her biological grandmother. Unless Mr Campbell is indeed Naomi’s father then her paternal grandmother could be Chinese. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVD5-V7WM

    Naomi posted on insta that her grandmother Ruby Louise Campbell Russel passed away. Assuming that Ruby is her maternal grandmother, why is her surname Campbell? Is Ruby Campbell Russel her step-father’s mother? I can’t find a marriage for Naomi’s mother and Mr Campbell either, only a marriage to Clifford Blackwood in 1982.

    Obviously there’s also a good amount of western/northern european admixtures. Look up what a pure blooded subSaharan tribal from some remote part of africa looks like.
