Hi Larry Have you looked at the website link I sent? This is all about our Joseph Couture and pictures, etc. I will resend the link. If there is other information you need, I can send that as well. Thanks,Larry. what a miracle if you could actually find a connection. We have pored Hudson's Bay records and a Joseph Couture was one of the men who moved the people and furs from Ontario to Montreal. Joseph Couture is apparently a fairly common name, and quite often mentioned in blood lists, Metis stories, etc. but it is the timing that is off. We don't have any names of siblings for Joseph, as he came into town alone, saying he was returning to the place of his birth, app. 1828, after many years of travelling and boxing and wrestling all over the country. Would you like to email directly to me? Leora www.genealogy.com/users/d/y/c/Andrea-L-Dyck/index.html.
