Hi!
This won't be the followup you want but it is a Cameron - Lazier link. Dr. Meribeth Elliott Cameron (Ph.d Chinese History Stanford in the 1920s and later Academic Dean at Mt. Holyoke University in Mass.) was the product of a Lazier mother and a Cameron father. Evidently the father abused the mother, and the mother, with her sisters, escaped to Elliott cousins in the US, eventually ending up in California. Meribeth became a leading modern Chinese history scholar for a long time - she died 2 years ago - in her 90s - and an informal advisor toUS presidents in the 40s (FDR and Truman).She was a lifelong Democrat - but just shook her head at the Kennedys and Clintons. She had a lively mind that literally never quit and greatly encouraged women's education, eg., as international president of the Federation of University Women! I can probably dredge up more info if you want - Her parents had lived somewhere around Galt or St. Thomas -
Best
Mary Catherine Lazier (Corbett)
