CANADIAN CONNECTIONS: Hudson's Bay Company and Real Royal Engineers The Children of Fort Langley deals with the approximately 108 Hudson's Bay Company employees who worked at Fort Langley in what is now British Columbia, Canada, between 1827 and 1894. Many of the descendants of these men and their wives stayed on the West Coast but some did not. Descendants from as far away as Scotland have been located. http://www.fortlangley.ca/ http://www.fortlangley.ca/employee.html Hudson's Bay Company Archives (Archives of Manitoba) http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/ The Real Royal Engineers (RE) deals with the men of the North American Boundary Commission, specifically the Royal Engineers who came to British Columbia in the fall of 1858 and spring of 1859, to help cut the boundary between the United States and Canada.
