    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HGB.2ACI/472.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I found another Joesph Santigo/Meswatego (son of Francis Sattagon and Chabokouaamoke) occupation chief/fisherman who was married to his first wife Chaboquamoque. His 2nd wife was Esther Martin born 1834,baptized 21 Sept 1834,St Anne's Church Mack Island (daughter of Antoine Martin-Soud jr and Odaiandjiokoue/Wawading) Joesph died 27 Sept 1911 which is the same Joesph Santigo/Cettago/Satago who I believe appears in the "Book Before The Bridge which I have a copy of.That picture is on page 46 of the book if you get a chance to see it of Joesph Santigo and his sister Elizabeth who was married to a Lozon.Then on page 61 of this same book there's an article that mentions "Santigo and Others" and tells how Santigo remained along the shore north of Moran Bay,finally becoming established with a group at what was called the Santigo settlement at the eight mile junction highway north of St. Ignace.It was sufficiently large to rate a country school.Santigo was apparently of a French father,being born in Canada,with an Indian mother,and was raised by an Indain family.His father's name was Chevalier,the name "Santigo" being a corruption of Misatago,persumably drived from the mother's side.His grandson,age 77 living on Bashore Road,was born at the Santigo settlement,and has verified that the "Chief" who died in 1911,was 100 years of age on May 2 of that year.Isn't genealogy fun? Ha! Ha! Cherie Eck-Tebo
