I've just discovered that my ggggrandfather Lieut. John Cameron was serving with his battalion in Bermuda at about the time his son Donald Charles was probably born (1813-1814). I have not been able to find any trace of a baptism in Britain, so I am thinking that he may have been baptised in Bermuda. Can anyone give me any clues on how I might search for the baptism? I believe that the family was Episcopalian/C of E. Any information gratefully received!! Thanks Marie
Hi Marie: Bermuda vital statistics have not been microfilmed by the LDS. You would need to contact the Bermuda Archives, though they do not appear to do in-depth research, but suggest you contact a researcher. Their website is at http://www.gov.bm/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=429&mode=2&in_hi_userid=2&cached=true I suggest that you also take a look at the Bermuda Genealogy and History page at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bmuwgw/bermuda.htm which is part of the Caribbena Genweb. I hope that helps.
