I have found extensive information on Bourassa which I have acquired from the following sites: http://genforum.genealogy.com/bourassa/messages/17.html They had 15 children Citizen Potawatomi Nation with lots of Bourassa information....E_mail the Museum director Esther Lowden ELowden@potawatomi.org or for roll information write Mary Farrell http://genforum.genealogy.com/bourassa/messages/279.html - sagnosh@aol.com Part of this information is from the 1863 Tribal Roll for Pottawatomie Indians. There are several Bourassa, w/different spellings, and several Bertrands listed. In some of my notes I show Marguerite Bertrand's brother as Joseph Bertrand married to Madelaine. The Potawatomi, Chippewa and Ottawa were all one Tribe. Then broke off into three bands. I have lots of information on all of these lines.
