Hello Everyone,
Greetings from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am new to this list and am so hoping that
someone out there can help me. I am looking for information on my ggggg grandfather,
Antoine Louis Cardinal. Here is what I have:
b. circa 1807, christened Sept. 18, 1842 @ St. Francois Xavier, Manitoba, d. circa 1851,
married Marie Comptois de Montigny (aka Comtois) circa 1820 @ Jasper House, Athabasca,
Alberta.
I am looking for information on Antoine before he arrived in Manitoba and Alberta. Where
was he born, who where his parents and siblings and anything else that there might be. I
have Antoine as Metis as was Marie - his parents may or may have both been Metis. I am
thinking that perhaps they came from the Quebec direction but only guessing as I can find
nothing here in the west.
If anyone can give me any leads I would be more than grateful. Hope to hear from someone
soon.
Lynda
