Chapter 10 - Métis and First Nation Sources

 

The records that have been discussed in the previous chapters enable you to make a connection to people identified as half-breed, country-born, chicot, strangers in blood, winterer, freemen, Métis, etc.. These people or their ancestors may have served fur trade companies as voyageurs, coureur de bois, guides, interpreters and later as traders.  There are additional document sources from Ontario that may prove helpful in identifying root Métis ancestors and Métis families.
