Looking to connect with others who are decedents/searchers of both French Canadians(Hudson Bay employs) who married Native Americans(specifically those bands that make up the Confederated Tribe of the Umatilla of today). We are looking at the connection of these people in the early 1800's, and the influence they had as 'new' families within WA, OR,ID,MO,CA. We are researching the following families and also their allied family names: Hebert with'dit'names:Laverdure/Lavadour /LaVerdure. McGinnis/McGinniss, Rondeau,Campion, Wheeler, Haight, Houghton,Ryel. These are just a few of the collateral names we search. Please let me know if you are interested in being included in our research, and if you can add your information as well. Thank you, Celeste Chandler Laverdure>McGinnis>Haight
