My Dear Fellow List Members,
I am trying to help a friend who has been searching her line for a number of years without
much success and since I have had quite a bit of success with my Englislh line, she has
enlisted my help on her family - although I know that Scotland is different in many was
than England. However, I felt it was worth a shot. Maybe some of you can at least point
us in the right direction.
The first individual in question - the one we will start with is one Peter CAMERON. Sorry
folks, I know this is a somewhat common name but maybe some of you can point us in the
right direction.
Here goes -
James CAMERON married Anne Watson and they had the following two known children -
Peter CAMERON, who was born about May 1848
Francis P. CAMERON, who was born about 9 October, 1849. He died on 16 of January in 1933.
I don't know if this second child ever immigrated and so don't know if he died in
Scotland or the U.S.
Peter immigrated in 1871 from Scotland and one of his ancestors believes he came with a
sister who was married to a man named Hodges or Hogen.
All the information we have after that pertains to his life in the U.S. and I thought our
best bet would be to start in Scotland. Please, please, please, if anyone knows of this
family, I would love to hear from you. Even on his naturalization papers once he got to
the United States, where it often time lists where in Scotland he was from, on these
particular papers it didn't. It only said Scotland.
If there is anyone out there who things they may be able to help, please get in touch.
Even if you just have an idea, I would love to hear from you.
Best to All,
Tanya Kloesel
