[or-roots] French Canadians in Oregon

[Leslie Chapman]

I wandered into my niece's ancestry again recently and have been making some headway on sorting those folks out. Have found some interesting pages on that subject;

http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/biographical/                             Hudson's Bay Vompany has made their historical employee files available


http://www.oregonpioneers.com/FrenchCanadianFamilyHistory.pdf     Stephanie Flora led me to this one; it goes backward from many of the folks in the                                                                                                                         previous page


http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mransom/frcan1842.html                     Rootsweb page covering some of the same folks some anecdotal stuff that is interesting and possible contact info, though since the email addys are in clear text I imagine none of them are still good


I had chatted with another person from the list on facebook earlier in the day about some of the folks of interest to me and just now ran across this story. I am a little fuzzy on whether the author has information to extrapolate the story from, or if it is made up of whole cloth, but the people in thsi following item are real.
