January 10th

Today, January 10th, we have two birthdays:

The first - 162 years ago, in 1857 - Euphemia Campbell was born.  She is your 1st cousin 3X removed because Allan Campbell (the letter carrier who died on his route beside Loch Lomond) is your 3X great grandfather and Euphemia's grandfather.

Euphemia was the first of Duncan Campbell and Catherine Kilgour's six children.  She was born in central Glasgow where her dad worked for the post office.

The second birthday was 94 years ago.  On this day, in 1925, Allan George Milne was born in Barre, Vermont, USA.  He is your 2nd cousin once removed because your 2Xgreat grandfather is Allan's great grandfather.  Allan is a descendent of Aberdeenshire folks, on both his mother's and father's side, who left Scotland for the granite mines of Vermont.

Because of his high school year book being online, we have a photograph of Allan George Milne.
