Thank you for the Information it helped as I saw this Manitoba Script I was hoping you could get it at the book store so I could see kind of what I was putting out 70.00 for. My father was told that we may be having a hard time if we have Metis in our family back then We were told that Metis didn't have a last name at all. Then at some point they needed names and would take related or not last names. I don't know if this is true or not. I am looking for a Jones The parents of my great grandmother and we belive that both or one of her parents are Metis. we know that they farmed close to a Reservation and had a small amout of land. We know that they didn't do much with in the community (as those times would not allow this at the time ) But when the war came they sure went. So a few things give us the idea and others. We also can't find any names of these people anyplace I think they came from mars or my grandmother did smile. We have seen pictures of this women but then my aunt would hide them on my dad, So I think I have a story....... the more doors slam the more I push. Do you know if Jones is a Metis name in those time Anyway thank you for the information and your time getting back to me Toni
