980216-3 Would love to get in touch with any Canadian "Fairs". My parents emigrated to Australia in 1955, from the Fair family of Auchtermuchty, Scotland. We have every name back to the 1500's and may be related to Eochaid the Fair who was the Pictish King of Fyfe and grandson of Kenneth MacAlpin, first King of Alba. There are also stories of our name deriving from Fearchar Mac an t'Sagairt, the first O'Beolan Earl of Ross. Contact: Craig T. Fair, P.O. Box 145, Kempsey 2440, New South Wales, Australia.
