Red River Ancestry

Hi I am new to this site and was deeply interested in the whole red river rebellion.. George Walter Sayers is my grandfather and I was wondering what all info you had on him, as well I was wondering if I could share some more accurate info on him. He still has one surviving child and that is my father. I am looking forward to hearing back, thank you.

Hi Roxy!

I have lots of information on the SAYER descendants, but I will need more information to do a proper follow-up. Tell me more about your grandparents.

When and where was George Walter SAYERS born?
What was his wife's maiden name and when and where was she born?

Now I know where you’re coming from Roxy! I have quite a bit of information about your ancestors but it will take me a while to review my info. I will get back to you later.

In the meantime, go to this link where your grandfather is named: BATTLE OF HONG KONG (1941-1945)

If you have a picture of your grandfather, it would be great to add it to that page.

Yes I do have a picture..I will scan into my computer and load it...Im not sure exactly how to add the photo of him on the site...could you let me know? Thank you

Ok Roxy, I have more about your ancestors.

John Charles SAYER was the son of OBEMAU-UNOQUA and John SAYER. ** MORE ABOUT JOHN SAYER (1750-1818)

Mary BREMNER was a daughter of Half-breed Elizabeth TWATT and Alexander BREMNER (1791-1842) an HBC Trader from the Orkneys of Scotland. I have just added a New Family Page for the forefather of the Red River BREMNER Families; here’s the link: FAMILY PAGE for ALEXANDER BREMNER (1791-1842)
