Hi James Forgot to mention. In response to your question "Which parent(s) are Native". In the 1901 Canadian Census for Simcoe (East) / District 113 / Sub-district n-5 (Tiny) / Schedule 1 page 12, Lines 46 to 50 where Antoine is identified as Antium, the family are identified with the colour identifier "FB" - French Breed. I know that Antoine's mother was native but I have not yet found out which parent of Cecile was native. It is possible the ancestry for her was farther back. Not everyone identified their aboriginal ancestry in the Census but it was unusual for a person to claim native ancestry if they did not have it so I have to assume that Cecile has native ancestry somewhere in her background. Take care Stan

You got it right. I've got a greatgrandmother Nancy Ella Smith who claimed to be German when her roots went back to the original Oneida census of 1820. Her father was Sylvester Smith of Oneida County. Trying to tie Sylvester with the Reverend William H. Smith an enrolled Oneida. Also, the name Alice M. Smith appears to be a cousin of Nancy Ella's. Alice was William's daughter. Also have an Marie Lavada Robinson from Berford Township (Charlesburg) Quebec that I'm trying to find a tribv for. She appears to be one of my great-greatgrandmothers.
