Dear Lloyd,I will try to help you the best I can.First, in the Genealogies of French-Canadian families by Fr. Cyprien Tanguay and another one by Jette, the Riel lineage is traced back to the first andcestor who was a solier in Ireland.The books are written in French, though, and you may need some assistance.Although the original family name was Riel-dit-Irlande (Irlande being French for Ireland) my ancestor took the latter (Irlande) probably for the reason you stated.Do you have some info on your family???Post what you have on this site and I will be more than happy to check the reference books mentioned above.Also, I have another source who may be able to may be able to help.Hope to hear from you soon.KIM
