Manon wrote re family from Auchternichity:
The name of my grandfather and my Great grandfather was Allen J
Cameron.
Most of us have not heard of that place name, better to name the parish too. There is
Auchtermuchty but that's not near Aberdeen
<Allen> is a rare SCT spelling. There are 6 entries for Alan/Allan J. Cameron in
"CAMERON GENEALOGIES" by Robert S. Cameron but although that book has a separate
Geographic Index, there is no suitable locality Auchter* nor Achter*
My great grandfather married Mercedes Poulin and lived in Gaspésie
where they had a son they named Allen J like his father.
Surname <POULIN> occurs in the abovenamed book. Janet Mary Poulin was g.daur of
Julia Cameron bn 1864. Julia descended from Donald Cameron bn ARL in c.1777, rather far
from Aberdeen.

I think I am unrelated to the above named persons.
