I've just discovered this forum.I'm sooooo excited.I've been tracing my French roots since I was in High School.
I'm anxiouly awaiting the book that describes the life of George Drouillard and his adventure with Lewis and Clark.
My mother's maiden name is Drouillard.Francois is my GGG Grandfather.I know that he lived on Walpole Island but didn't know about him being an honourary chief or about his headdress being in a museum in Ottawa.I'd really be interested in knowing more about that.
Pepé Rouge, from the stories that my Memé used to tell me, was called Pepé Rouge because he wore a red flannel shirt that his wife had made him.I have a picture of him that my Memé had.
