Good morning and a beautiful morning. Well it looks good thru the window!! Got a few emails that told me in 1800 their was no BC WA or OR boundry lines. So no sense trying to find family born in 1800 and 1818 some place that was not here yet!! My gggggrandfather was Duncan McDougall who already had a wife plus two children when he married ILCHEE. Chinook Chief Concomlys daughter. Would love to find family of Caleb McDougall. But do not know if he grew up a McDougall or was named some special name by the tribe. But believe a Demers/Deemers family raised Caleb. Any and all info needed. Thank you. Viola.

Viola Have you researched any of the Hudsons Bay Company or Northwest Company Records held by the HBC Archives in Winnipeg, Manitoba.? Many of these records have been filmed and the films can be obtained on Inter Library Loan.
