Hi to all the Camerons and kin out there;
Greetings from the great white north.
Something I've been meaning to get out for awhile now and this is in
regard to an outfit called "Halbert's Family Heritage". I was solicited
thru
the mail to purchase "The Heirloom Edition of The Cameron Since 1751" For
$35.00 Canadian I tho't I'd take a chance.
It is of course basically a generic book,with the appropriate Family
names in the appropriate places.There is a listing of Camerons in various
places around the world,obviously taken from phone directory systems.
What I got a kick out of is I have two boys in Vancouver, B.C. and their
names were in this book several times,for the various addresses at which
they had resided over a period of five years .
The kicker tho' is the pictorial representation and the description of
the Cameron Coat of Arms which is reputed to be documented in "Burkes
General Armory" I quote:
"The original description of the Arms (Shield) is as follows;
"Gu.Two Bars. Or." Translated the Blazon also describes the
original colors of the Cameron Arms as: "Red;Two Gold Horizontal Bars."
Above the Shield and Helmet which is described as "A Sheaf of five
arrows tied with red ribbon"
A couple of days ago I received another "offer" from the same
Halberts,this time for a sweatshirt.Again I quote:".......I've takenyour
NAME and created a Cameron Coat of Arms........etc" At the bottom of the
card in small print,"Geneological representation is not implied".
I address this next remark to Tom Cameron,just what are they implieing ?
And how do we stop them from leading Camerons, and others, down the garden
path.
Their Canadian address is : HALBERT'S
2756 SLOUGH ST.,
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO
CANADA
L4T 9Z9
Hope this stirs some controversy and the site becomes active again,
small reminder, still searching for family roots in Renfrew County, Ontario
cc1870s-90s.
