Dear Carolyn and Cliff,
Hi cousins!! So good to hear from other Camidges. I am so excited to
find so many Camidges in the USA. For a long time I thought we were the only
ones. It wasn't until I went online that I found others.
My Dad is Frank G. Camidge and he is an only child on his father's side.
He had a sister but she died at birth or very young. Her name was Mary. His
father is Joseph Camidge. His mother is Mary Etz. She was born in Bern,
Switzerland. And both my Dad and his Dad were born in Pennsylvania.
My grandfather's dad was George Camidge. He was born in England but
emigrated around 4 years old to the US. His wife was Sadie Steinmetz. I
haven't found his parents yet but I am looking. I will guess that his dad was
George too, but I don't know. I need to go to Penn to the genealogical
library and search. Also to the National Archives and search the ship's
records. I will eventually do both.
Well, write back when you can!!
Marcia Camidge David
