* There was a Hazel Carmichael that came to visit Annie Carmichael in St. Fillan's, Scotland. We know that Hazel was visiting from Nova Scotia and that her father (Duncan Carmichael b: 5 April 1858 Logie, Perthshire), worked for Lord Kelvin's firm when they were putting down the TransAtlantic cable line. We think they immigrated to Nova Scotia where the cable landed - before 1906.

* My grandfather: Peter William Carmichael would tell a story passed on through the generations of 7 Carmichael brothers that fought with Bonnie Prince Charlie. We don't know who these brothers were-just that they were relatives.
