I would love a picture of the gravestone.   I had found that he was a gamekeeper, so this is the correct family.  Also the children are the same.  You are so great.  Thanks.

I'm doing Camerons from Boleskine as well.  In fact there are three of us at it currently and we hope to have all the Stratherrick Camerons collated quite soon.  I come from James Cameron and Margaret Macgillivray c 1770 through Simon Cameron and Christine McIntyre c 1820 then down to Donald Cameron and Jane Walker c 1852 in Savoch in Aberdeenshire.  We've collected an awful lot of the Cameron certificates to 1900 and a lot of the OPRs.  Needless to say I'm a great believer in sharing so if anyone wants anything let me know.

I know I have ran across this name in the past, but in checking today I could not find her.   I also looked on the LDS church FamilyTree site.  She is listed there, but is not linked to any parents, spouse, or children.  Do you have any information to show where she connects?  I would enjoy having you share anything on her and I will keep checking to find her.   Thanks

Ok - my reply above was a little wrong.  With one of the first replies, it shows grandchildren of Duncan Cameron as Katherine and Jessie Muir Fraser.  I found both on FamilyTree, but not connected to anyone.  Katherine has a birthdate of 1879 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.  Jessie has a birthdate of 1882 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.   Still not sure which one of Duncan's children ties them into Fraser.  Any information you have would be great.
