I'm researching my family history and I know we emigrated from Scotland. The passed down information is that our family of Pauls' were part of the Cameron Clan in the Fort William area. Has anyone ever heard of our last name because I'm having trouble linking it. Thanks,
Joey Paul

Hi Joey. My surname is also Paul and I was born, bred and live in Scotland. Paul is a sept name of Cameron and my research shows it comes from the Cameron of Erracht. I am still researching the background and I'll let you know how I get on.
I am a member of the Cameron Clan.

My research has also lead me Cameron of Errcht. Anything you could find would be great. My branch of the family immigrated to Litchfield, Quebec sometime between 1805 and 1829, but its not like the Pauls were a very big group so I imagine that we are connected somehow. Are you still in the Fort William area??

Just wondering because my family was presbyterian but I was told that the majority of Camerons were Roman Catholic so I was just wondering how that fit in. Just trying to follow up on everything I hear, trying to get somewhere. Thanks

Sorry I didn't mean that in an abrupt manner as when reading it back it might seem that way. We are Church of Scotland. As far as I am aware I didn't have any family that lived in the Fort William area. There are many Pauls in Fife. I wil check though and get in touch with your. I will PM you with my e-mail address.

I wonder if John Paul ( Jones ) was his addopted namw after a Jones family took him in has a Cameron connection as a sept of Clan Cameron . I did find out that Paul is also a sept of the McIntosh Clan . It would be interesting to know whether he does have a Cameron connection , or not .

 John Paul(Jones) certainly appears to have had a Cameron temperament eg. "I have not yet begun to fight" though of course we must be careful f "legendary" History. Events do improve with the re telling of any event.
