About Us
Lucille Campey
Dr. Lucille Campey is a Canadian, living
in Britain, with over thirty years' experience as a researcher and author. It was
her father’s Scottish roots and love of history that first stimulated her
interest in the early exodus of people from Scotland to Canada. She is the
great-great-grand-daughter of William Thomson, who left Morayshire, on the
northeast coast of Scotland in the early 1800s to begin a new life with his
family, first near Digby then in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. He is described in D.
Whidden’s History of the Town of Antigonish simply as “William, Pioneer” and is
commemorated in the St. James Church and Cemetery at Antigonish. Lucille’s
mother, Cécile Morency, who was born in Ste-Marie-de-Beauce, was a descendant of
Guillaume Baucher dit Morency who settled in Île d’Orléans in 1659. You can contact Lucille by sending her an Email. Her address is lucille@scotstocanada.com.
