Red River Ancestry

I am trying to learn all I can about the ancestry and extended family of my great Grandmother - Catherine Bruyere born Dec 21, 1874 in Fort Alexander, she was the daughter of Joseph Bruyere and Elise Bird. I would especially be interested in finding out Elise's heritage and who her parents were. If there are any documents or photos available in regards to this family I would also be interested in copies of these. I do have some information but unfortunately not much is validated. My mother was born in Selkirk in 1938 and had been searching this family line since 1962 with not much success and I am attempting to carry on the search for her.

Thanks very much for the donation Kevin. I am reviewing your ancestry now and will start with a Family Page for your great grandparents Catherine and Michel CAVANAUGH which I hope to post some time tomorrow. I look forward to working with you on your ancestors in the days ahead.

New Family page for your great grandparents Kevin:
MICHEL CAVANAUGH (1861-1943)
I look forward to beginning some dialogue under that Forum Topic, i.e Which ones of this family were your grandparents?
