Hello Richard, Thank you for responding. My lineage is from Sifroy and Elise to their son
Henry and wife Josephine, and Henry's daughter Leah. Their is not alot of info on
Henry. He had divorced after loosing a son in a drowning accident, I believe his name was
Napoleon (I don't have my book with me). After he remarried, he had another son and
gave him his deceased son's name. My Great Grandmother was sent to St Mary's
Mission described as "somewhere north of Yakima." According to the Jesuits,
that would be the Paschal Sherman Indian School on the Colville Indian Reservation. I
know she was born on the Poplar River. Family history points to Minnesota, but could be
Montana. She had 3 birth certificates, according to the cousins. The first describing
the Poplar River,the second identifying the Poplar River Township, and the thrid as
Brooks, Minnesota. Henry came south out of Alberta.
