other Canadian censuses. They are colour (column 5) which only appears in this census and for Ethnicity (column 11) which contains unique answer options.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

</div><p style="text-align: left;">If you are Métis you need to check out this site for your ancestors. If you are not Métis, you might want to check out this website because it is well organized with amazing information. If you are thinking of, or trying to, create a family website, I suggest you check this out. This site is also what every genealogists wants to find. </p>
<p>A friend told me about an ancestor of hers who stood out, who she wanted to get to know more. She asked me if I had anyone that has stood out over the years. I do. She is a several great Aunt of mine. Not my direct line but someone I always remember. </p>
<p>My friend, Tracey, has given me permission to share what found about her family. </p>
<p>After telling me what she knew about this lady, Tracey asked me if I could find out more about her. Tracey is Métis so I went to the Red River Ancestry website to see if her (a few greats) grandmother was on the site. This is what I found. I have given explanations of each part of the website along the way. </p><p>The link to the website is: <a href="https://www.redriverancestry.ca/">https://www.redriverancestry.ca/</a> </p>

really stood out for me? One that I wanted to get to know better. I said yes. For
me, it is a several great aunt. For my friend Tracey, it is her twice great
grandmother. She wanted to learn more about her. She gave me her name and
mentioned she was Metis. I then went to the Red River Ancestry webpage where we
found her ancestors. This search process is found on another blog post.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">On George Atkinson’s page on the Red River Ancestry page,
it states the following.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><b>In
1875 Nancy claimed her Half-breed Scrip as the widow of George Atkinson.</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">We, of course, then had to go find the scrips of Tracey’s
family. This post will illustrate the search steps to find her families scrip and
the information on these <a style="mso-comment-date: 20231110T1822; mso-comment-reference: LK_1;">documents</a></span><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 8pt; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><span style="mso-special-character: comment;"> </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Before searching it is good to understand what these
documents are. Library and Archives Canada states, “Metis scrip was
administered in Western Canada from 1870 until 1924 as a means of extinguishing
the Aboriginal title of mixed-ancestry Aboriginal peoples. This policy was implemented

1885 to 1887; and in conjunction with First Nation treaties from 1887 to 1924.”

Nation has replaced that term in common use for both individuals and bands, as
Indian is considered an offensive term (but is currently still enshrined in

preferred identification may vary person to person and nation to nation. If you
are researching first person and talking to people from a cross-border nation,
you can ask them what they prefer to go by. Many Indigenous Peoples have
websites that share their history, culture, and current lives where you can
find information on them and see how they refer to themselves. Otherwise, you
can choose which term to use depending on your audience (whether Americans or
Canadians). </span></p>

They were called “Half Breeds” until recently. Métis is pronounced “may tea.”</p>

charge were against interracial marriage and relations. Soon the government
needed the population to grow, but they were having trouble convincing enough
European civilians to move to New France, so they encouraged the colonizers to
marry the “Indians.” The descendants of these couples were referred to as
Half-Breeds, but today they are referred to as Métis. The term also covers the
descendants of First Nations women with English or Scottish men.</span></p>

1670. The purpose of the company was to “seek a northwest passage to the
Pacific, to occupy the lands adjacent to Hudson’s Bay, and to carry on any
commerce with those lands that might prove profitable.”<a href="file:///F:/Genealogy/Talks/Canada/FirstNations/FNMI%20The%20Indigenous.docx#_edn7" name="_ednref7" style="mso-endnote-id: edn7;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="color: black;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
Not to be out done by Britain, a few Scottish men founded the North West Company
in 1783. Many Métis are of Scottish ancestry. The two companies merged in 1821
under the Hudson’s Bay Company name and charter.<a href="file:///F:/Genealogy/Talks/Canada/FirstNations/FNMI%20The%20Indigenous.docx#_edn8" name="_ednref8" style="mso-endnote-id: edn8;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="color: black;">[8]</span></span></span></span></a></span></p>

ancestry. The Métis Nation has a unique culture that developed from their

includes northern Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. </span>These are the people who
historically lived in igloos, though they no longer commonly use them as
their permanent dwellings. The word Inuit means the people.<a href="file:///F:/Genealogy/Talks/Canada/FirstNations/FNMI%20The%20Indigenous.docx#_edn10" name="_ednref10" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[10]</span></span></span></a>
Inuit is pronounced “in-u-it.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Many of us grew up calling these people Eskimos. I liked the word
and when I heard it I pictured a family in an igloo living and surviving in the
Arctic cold with big white parkas fur-lined hooded parkas. Their ability to
survive up there in the very long very cold white winters amazed me. As I grew
up, my family would share “Eskimo Kisses” which I was fond of and made me feel
connected to these people. <span style="background: white;">The term came from
Western explorers in the Arctic area who saw Inuit people rubbing noses as a
greeting.</span> The Inuit were not the only people greeting this way, but the
name stuck. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I learned recently that the name Eskimo is disrespectful to
Canadian Inuit and should not be used. The name “Eskimo” was given to them by
other people. More recently, some people believed the word was from the Cree
word meaning “eaters of raw meat” and therefore was meant as an insult, but
Cree also ate raw meat, so this belief may be unfounded. Regardless, many Inuit
in Canada dislike the term, do not identify with it, and prefer the name Inuit.
In Alaska and Russia they prefer Eskimo. Inuit replaced Eskimo in the Canadian
government in the 1970s.<a href="file:///F:/Genealogy/Talks/Canada/FirstNations/FNMI%20The%20Indigenous.docx#_edn11" name="_ednref11" style="mso-endnote-id: edn11;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[11]</span></span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: black;">Surnames<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></i>For genealogical purposes it is important to note Inuit naming
practices, as defined in the Library and Archives Canada website. “Before the
first half of the 20th century, Inuit did not use last names. Traditionally,
Inuit naming was genderless and children were/are often named after significant
or recently deceased family members, regardless of gender or namesake. Until the
1970s there were no surnames.”<a href="file:///F:/Genealogy/Talks/Canada/FirstNations/FNMI%20The%20Indigenous.docx#_edn12" name="_ednref12" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[12]</span></span></span></a></p>

Grave is a site that might help direct you in the right direction but it should not be used as a source or the only information. Using what you learn from Find
a Grave, more research should be done to prove or disprove they are family. This includes looking at the grave yard records and visiting the grave site in
person. If it is not possible to go yourself, ask someone to go and take photos. You may learn more.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">In many of my BYU-Idaho Family History research courses, we were assigned to research six different families in a semester. For one assignment we were to pick someone from our area. I picked a man who was a member of the Northwest Mounted Police, Thomas
Ellis. We were given just over two weeks to do the research and write the report, giving us 18-24 hours. My objectives were his family group sheet as a child and his family group as a parent. After doing some other research it was time for researching
his death records. I knew the cemetery he was buried in and from my research I had learned that he died between 1906 and 1910.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbrJ5QFDpRuzwwrpAz5glfjdA7W4QQs0ahFbpuWgtDJGjUPxXU8Hf78H4LWi9j8EG4CsloTo3WfyOVgU1TJ-YGJEZXWC2DDc5gA9p3jc3BUa5RcQeiPaUuzrHD7p0oJKehBeIVNF4pJ2ngz8itu1U-UuKlahXvbH9xGR9707XRWpxhsxotQY_BiGe3/s4032/IMG_4192.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbrJ5QFDpRuzwwrpAz5glfjdA7W4QQs0ahFbpuWgtDJGjUPxXU8Hf78H4LWi9j8EG4CsloTo3WfyOVgU1TJ-YGJEZXWC2DDc5gA9p3jc3BUa5RcQeiPaUuzrHD7p0oJKehBeIVNF4pJ2ngz8itu1U-UuKlahXvbH9xGR9707XRWpxhsxotQY_BiGe3/s320/IMG_4192.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I went to Find a Grave to see what the site had. Thomas’ page had the photo on the right, his approximate birth year, birth location listed as England, a death date and location, plot location, and a copy of his obituary from the newspaper. The names listed on this stone are Thomas Ellis, Henry Pennington, and Eleanor Pennington. Henry and Eleanor were his in-laws. But his wife is not listed. I knew she married after his death so I thought she might have been buried with him. Interesting that the first person buried on this site is a Pennington but the stone says Ellis. This was most likely added later.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">To learn more and get official documentation on his death, I phoned the cemetery office for the official burial records. After introducing myself and explaining why I was researching, I asked about Thomas Ellis. The office was very helpful. She found his record and told me: he died on 15 Jul 1909 at 44 years old, he had a traditional burial, his burial is indicated as “Order 2” and where this stone is located in the graveyard. I had to ask what “Order 2” meant. It means that he was buried on top of Henry Pennington. Eleanor Pennington. Henry’s wife is buried beside them, as well as Thomas’ wife Edith McCreight.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">The documentation from the city did have two little mistakes. The document said he
was a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer. He was Northwest Mounted Police. Yes, NWMP became RCMP but stating he was RCMP would indicate he was an officer during different years and
could throw off research. Second, the documentation stated that Henry Pennington died at 61 years old on 28 Jul 1993.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Thomas died in 1909 before Henry. Also, his wife Eleanor died at 89 years of in 1930 and therefore, it is most likely that he died in 1893
not 1993. The gravestone also has 1893 on it. There was a note on the document that this is most likely incorrect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
reminds us that two sources are so important because little mistakes happen. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">As well as researching what a typical burial meant, I also found out what the ihs on the
top of the stone from a Cemetery Symbolism blog site.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Find a Grave did not know Thomas’ age and there was also a couple bits of information
that is not given that are not essential but interesting, such as traditional burial and the order. The office said Edith is buried here as well but where is
her name? I searched Find a Grave for her as Edith McCreight. There is a record but no photo, only the birth year, only the death year, approximate age and
location. Nothing else. Edith Ellis is not found at all.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I now have a confession. I mentioned I had two weeks to do this research. This was in February. It was -40</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">°</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">C below and there was lots of snow. I did not go to the cemetery. Always go to the cemetery. I had enough information given to me to complete my research and report on Thomas Ellis but when I went to the plot in person I learnt more.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXFYoi819M0ZZfBcPSTpW5u7wMmTDE8RVdCRBLTtFvf2KFX6jry7MFLwIq4IhCfzh7mwgEjz2lF4Dr_YtFgbUn3CDSr2dO7m5iQVOkpoqvlbV-oc_TaYObfGzBZ7JZrnCyQFSOtLvu5qOxHVgKgA0P1xlUuTxt0A4UIMczdUDxzsni-OVy-YUVjnpr/s4032/IMG_4194.jpg" style="clear: right; display: inline; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXFYoi819M0ZZfBcPSTpW5u7wMmTDE8RVdCRBLTtFvf2KFX6jry7MFLwIq4IhCfzh7mwgEjz2lF4Dr_YtFgbUn3CDSr2dO7m5iQVOkpoqvlbV-oc_TaYObfGzBZ7JZrnCyQFSOtLvu5qOxHVgKgA0P1xlUuTxt0A4UIMczdUDxzsni-OVy-YUVjnpr/s320/IMG_4194.jpg" width="240" /></a>Here is what else I found when I went in person. <br /><br />First.<br />I found Edith’s name on the
gravestone. It is on the right side, shown in the photo on the right. Her name appears plus “Daughter of Henry & Eleanor Pennington 1869 – 1933.” No mention of
first or second husband although it is an Ellis gravestone.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Second.<br />Walking around the Ellis stone I noticed that there were 6 cement pillars around this and
a couple others gravestone. The pillars had a round indent which could be used for adding ropes or chains to mark their family plot area. They are short grey pillars shown in
the two photos with red arrows pointing to them.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-q5XM15CBvsFzNCL_6uFQGnE497EcFQpVvPRp2duFRv1FAsD_4vJx2kncNDeLbzRzlxJ7J4RIAhxw40_-QbY8kMtevkuhasU6xj1xYDwZI8mFls0Nh9XF27Lyz2Jh4qOeJX3AVwvgxQcCEEwI7PtL18N60Ho9tG2PPzBlDyZCVQXdaBQVZaO87hcm/s624/posts%201.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="468" data-original-width="624" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-q5XM15CBvsFzNCL_6uFQGnE497EcFQpVvPRp2duFRv1FAsD_4vJx2kncNDeLbzRzlxJ7J4RIAhxw40_-QbY8kMtevkuhasU6xj1xYDwZI8mFls0Nh9XF27Lyz2Jh4qOeJX3AVwvgxQcCEEwI7PtL18N60Ho9tG2PPzBlDyZCVQXdaBQVZaO87hcm/s320/posts%201.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCo32xdRfv02SgyZZPvlHyeXH123-Xpe9Xc5GTGmvUqRcFyyEH4vGJanTN9U8RKYKz5v3oB8FXLUEkMaG9ndcBcZdMxeR7uqwEwy43S1mHnxqAy2XTm5mjCdgcFtRlUcsHRzoOGyVXc2RF4n-uEo39KbcF1kRNxkB4npQK7-9lS4Wpa-xBAn_9dSeF/s610/Posts%202.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="458" data-original-width="610" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCo32xdRfv02SgyZZPvlHyeXH123-Xpe9Xc5GTGmvUqRcFyyEH4vGJanTN9U8RKYKz5v3oB8FXLUEkMaG9ndcBcZdMxeR7uqwEwy43S1mHnxqAy2XTm5mjCdgcFtRlUcsHRzoOGyVXc2RF4n-uEo39KbcF1kRNxkB4npQK7-9lS4Wpa-xBAn_9dSeF/s320/Posts%202.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>

The stone shown in the photo on the right is located on the left side of the Ellis stone. One of the pillars marking the Ellis area is on the left.

Thomas' obit mentions that Edith had a brother W. Pennington living near by. Thomas came from Ulverston, Lancashire, England 33 years before his death. He never had children and lived with Edith his last nine years. All of this would help in researching Edith’s maternal line.<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrKhTJMbTpRG5VgZyxg6Cuum0PGjbBbi-cF76Y_NZAS0R2gCf6Zr0vVJGtDOGqJhI-k0EJOI5xHmQ8XO_DJ2r2wx4ibA7u1CNmSMtpRCUAsHNywIYmiBXXkYiIxHUL59kZCPwRsjcox3ULiC76J4HiR4nphk5FeDAErRX4-cPzL9uduGBhTIZClULe/s2529/IMG_4199%20small.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2121" data-original-width="2529" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrKhTJMbTpRG5VgZyxg6Cuum0PGjbBbi-cF76Y_NZAS0R2gCf6Zr0vVJGtDOGqJhI-k0EJOI5xHmQ8XO_DJ2r2wx4ibA7u1CNmSMtpRCUAsHNywIYmiBXXkYiIxHUL59kZCPwRsjcox3ULiC76J4HiR4nphk5FeDAErRX4-cPzL9uduGBhTIZClULe/s320/IMG_4199%20small.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>

Yes, I will add the photo to Edith’s Find A Grave record as well as her information of her two husbands, with sources.</span></p>

Today's technology is amazing; computers will index in just a couple weeks what would otherwise take us millions of hours to index by hand. At the same time, the computers can't read the handwriting as well as you can, so we need you! You are invited to help review and improve the index—to make sure that every parent, grandparent, sibling, and friend will be able to be found.

Some of the well known names are the KrugerRand - a coin of South Africa, a town called Krugersdorp, and there is the Kruger National Park. <p></p>My mother-in-law's ancestry goes back to the 1600s in South Africa which means she is a Boer, but she also has a line back to the1820 Settlers which are English. She had family on both sides of the Boer War and that is why this session was interesting to me. <div><br /></div><div><b><span>Session Title<br /><i>South African Boer War Prisoners: The Pretorius family, a Case Study</i></span></b></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div><b>Session Description</b><br />"Come take a journey through South African Boer War records using a typical South African family, the Pretorius family as a case study. We'll look at where to find the records, how to interpret the incredibly rich information contained in them, and how to use social history to add to the story of your ancestors. We'll look at camp death registers, maps, hospital admission registers and probate records as we tell the story of the Pretorius family."</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI8Kx-Yd3oZN0YxJcW9ubouS53TDTmGFQryRIySWtIOIQc9fUAwdfAM9Gvh3T2nvdL-O46wj8x0IDoLugcgnvcHpXnc1sff5fa_uVaE9b5hdSRZZSSprADqIzqWPBs446qh_qV3MIPNnalLWRgLbGPaHkjmWIcHUkivq7v9Sn9EAaNDZMiQhe5Mg3N/s201/2022-KKK.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="201" data-original-width="201" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI8Kx-Yd3oZN0YxJcW9ubouS53TDTmGFQryRIySWtIOIQc9fUAwdfAM9Gvh3T2nvdL-O46wj8x0IDoLugcgnvcHpXnc1sff5fa_uVaE9b5hdSRZZSSprADqIzqWPBs446qh_qV3MIPNnalLWRgLbGPaHkjmWIcHUkivq7v9Sn9EAaNDZMiQhe5Mg3N/w132-h132/2022-KKK.jpg" width="132" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Presented by Sue McNelly<br /><p>Link<br /><a href="https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/session/south-african-boer-war-prisoners-the-pretorius-family-a-case-study">https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/session/south-african-boer-war-prisoners-the-pretorius-family-a-case-study</a></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
