Cameron Heritage





This is a blog to record the Chilean Cameron Heritage. We know that we are descendants of Alexander Cameron who traveled to Chile as a young buck to find his fortune and Annie Gillies who followed him a few years later. In future posts I will fill in the known details with stories and photos, but the main purpose is to allow you to add to the family history.

Recently mi primo Aleman Mario T Cameron found information that I thought was lost. Not only did he find census information, but also a photograph of the tombstone of Alexander Cameron's parents, John and Katherine Cameron. So search out the hidden letters, document and pictures and lets explore our genetic heritage.


The photo to the left is Alexander Cameron. This picture may have been taken when he was about to depart for Chile. The picture to the right is of Annie Gillies (they married in Traigen, Chile as soon as she arrived on a journey through the dreaded Cape Horn.) Both of these picture were obtained thanks to Tanty Winnie.
