PAUL family - Manitoba, Canada

Hi Debbie,
My father's name is Louis Baptiste Paul and he was born in Portage La Prairie Manitoba in 1936. He now lives in Alberta. His father's name was Joseph Paul and I am unsure of where he was born in Manitoba, but I do know that they are Metis-French and First Nation ...I am too :>)
Joseph married a metis (Scottish and I think Cree) from Kinnesota, MB. (sic?) named Josephine Campbell. I remember as a kid my grandfather speaking fluent French when he chose to and he passed away in 1980.
Unfortunately, my father's parents were not too proud of their native heritage. My grandmother will not admit being 1/2 native which is sad because she grew up ashamed of it and the stigma that went along with it.
I'm almost sure that there's probably some distant connection. That place where my Grandmother was born in Manitoba may give you a lead to that arm of the Paul family(?)
I reside in Ontario. Good luck!
