I live in the North East of England, my gt grandmother was Catherine Cameron of Sunart. She lived on the banks of Loch Sunart in a farm called 'Camasinus'. She married an English person called Cornelius King and birthed my grandmother,Louisa Catherine in 1869. Catherine Cameron had a father called Ewan Cameron m Janet Cameron nee McDonald,he was a sawmiller and owned the mill near the farm. Her 3 brothers were Duncan, Hugh and William; she had one sister called Mary, born 1844. The family spoke Gaelic as their first language. My father, Mark Cameron Ramshaw, 1900-1959, instilled into his family the name of the farm and other little stories about the Camerons. Does anyone know anything about this family./ Myself and son went to Loch Sunart, 2006, but although everyone was a Cameron noone seemed to have any recollection of our family,I was furious to find the sawmill had become someone's holiday home! Did the brotherss emigrate to US or Canada? We have horses, my son hopes to train as a farrier, he was made redundant from his welding position because of the recession..Glen is 6'7" tall with khaki eyes, built like a train. I have green eyes, my maternal grandmother was Swedish. Christine Cameron-Ramshaw

Saturday March 7 2009. I J. Allen W. King born Gordon Cameron 04-15-1952 has discovered his family. In Vancouver B.C. I meet my Mothers older sister Madeline Margaret Sjogren (Cameron)-1921 and her daughter my cousin Betty. Our reunion was unbelievable. I have waited to be hugged-held-kissed-accepted for me. My dream has come true-no nightmare. Next in line will be Mona Joan Girling (Cameron)-1934 the younger sister to my mother Dorothy Mae MacKinnon (Cameron) 1930-1992. The adventure continues but now I really feel connected-I'm one of you. Get ready for stories-hugs-laughs I will invade. The road has had many one-way streets and detours. But I have many angels that have guided me through these struggles. No more U-turns it is straight ahead. I will win-I will conquer-I will not be denied. Cameron is in my blood-proven without a doubt. Do not fear, but reach out, feel my strength, my strength is your strength. The battle is not over, but victory is near. I ask you to look into my eyes to see the truth. It is there. Yes, a Cameron is born again.
Mingo: Well that makes us cousins also . Would you be kind enough to e-mail? king_tbird@msn.com I am attempting to learn as much as possible about my birth family. I would appreciate your help. Thanks J. Allen W. King
P.S. Where do you live? What is your name? Just a few questions?

Dear Camerons: Today was a beautiful day. My sister Tracy Hemstock(MacKinnon) sent me pictures of my birth mother. To see pictures of ones mother for the first time in your life, what a joy. When I wrote e-mails to friends, I cried for joy realizing, this wonderful occasion. I see the resemblance, but I'm prejudice of course. The nose, thin lips, eyes. Mango: I live in Seattle. It is my wish to meet all Cameron or relatives. There is a picture of sisters(Dorothy-Madeline-Dene,Mona-Jo) and brother(Edward) and father(Edward Albert)-mother(Hazel). There is young woman in the middle of the picture, it is Mona(Jo). She is so beautiful-stunning. I have a photo of her June 19-1990, my question to you is she alive? Does she want to meet me? How about you? Do you wish to meet me? I hope you understand the need for me to meet all Camerons-relatives. My wish is for my mother to smile from heaven, knowing her first children is caring-wishing-loving this family, he does not know. I pray that you understand my position. This son will not settle for anything else but the truth. Please reach out-touch-feel the cousin that should be heard. Am I asking for to much! God Bless my Cameron family, my blood family-my thoughts, my ideas, my life. Please understand.

reply to theking June 7, 2008 ... my mother is Dorothy's sister. I'm sure my cousin Tracey has supplied you with most of the information you seek - if you have any inquiries for my mom, post it here and I will ask her.

Some Camerons came down from Canada and settled in St. Vincent, Minnesota. My family, the Fitzpatricks, were neighbors and good friends to them. I have a website about St. Vincent and its history. There are some posts on there about the Cameron family. I welcome any information from any Cameron who has information about St. Vincent to contact me. My website is at http://56755.blogspot.com

With great joy and pride I announce that the signature and writing on my adoption papers confirms that Dorothy Mae MacKinnon(Cameron) is my birth mother. So I proudly state Gordon Cameron now J. Allen W. King is a Cameron. I thank my cousin Pat Lawerence for giving me vital information. Of course I wish to thank Thomas my cousin that formed this wonderful website. Thomas your website(Cameronville.com) kept me positive in my quest to find my family. Most of all I would like to thank my sister Tracy Hemstock(MacKinnon) for being such a kind soul, in an awkward time. My research for my family roots was difficult-time consuming. In the end, worth every second I put forth. One reaps the fruit of time with patience. The fruit comes from a tree, that family tree is Cameron. Crooked-old-strong-warrior I proclaim I'm a Cameron. I promise not to fall out of the tree, ever. I belong...
