<DIV><FONT size=2>A bit of Hudson Bay History might be helpful here. The
Canadian based Hudson Bay Company was active in the Northwest long before 1828
when John McLaughlin became the chief factor at Fort Vancouver. Their
normal route of travel as across southern Canada and either down the Frazier
River, or the Columbia from British Columbia. Since the Red River Settlement is
in Sascatchewan it is certainly unlikely that the family came to Oregon in 1841
by boat unless you count some canoe travel. Bob Casebeer</FONT></DIV>
