Hi Joan So when did the Camerons start coming over. I am being to think that there was some native connection in my Cameron line. On Charles Behan's Military (s/o James Behan and Alice Cameron) it state that he had dark complextion. I do have some Sinclairs that came from Balmaclellan and Minnifaf, Scotland and ended up in Nelson, Ontario and later Elkhorn, Manitoba.
