My Early Family (Camerons and Roes) to 1955

 

The following images were mainly scanned from 35mm slides taken by Glenn Cameron (1918-1967). There is no specific order although some topics and people are grouped.

Errors in names or dates are expected. However, my best guess today will be more accurate than someone else in the future.

 

Gathered around Jessie Watson are left to right, John Cameron, Gloria Campbell, Barbara Campbell, Jessie Watson, Nathen Bernshaw (Paul Cameron), Aunt Em Steel.
