BEEFS & BOUQUET

I found your marvelous web site while searching for information on Tom Clover,
who arrived at Fort Edmonton with Timoleon Love.
I have been researching these men for some years.
Richard Wright - 01-2001

I do appreciate all that you are doing
to keep the history of the real old west alive.

I just looked through your site and
I love every bit of it!!!
Good work!!
Frank B. - 01-2001

I have just been reading through your website and am very impressed.
Thank you for making it available.
It is obvious that you have extensive knowledge of New France history.
So thanks again for posting your site,
I found it most enjoyable and have book marked it.
Roxanne - 01-2001

I came across your web site and
I was very impressed with it.
I am creating a web site and
I wanted your permission to link to it.
David Bavington - 01-2001

I am reading your internet site with much interest.
Thanks for your enjoyable site.
I appreciate all the time and study involved in producing it.
I will print it out and put it in a binder for others who do not have computers.
D. Perrella - 01-2001

Great Site!!!!!
I was introduced tonight to your site!
All I can say is WHOW!!!!!!
I will spend some time reading all the pages on your site in the next few days.
I must congratulate you on all the information you are sharing with the world!
More importantly it's told by a Metis!
Thank You!!!!!
Lorraine Freeman (Michif woman) - 01-2001

AWESOME!
Fantastic site!
Well worth reading again and again.
I hope you have considered publishing this in a book,
especially for those Metis without computers.
Thank you for your time and effort you have put forth to build this informative site.
May you continue to walk in the path of beauty.
Jackie Trotche (Trotter) Drews - 01-2001

Your colors on your home page is so bright, neon lime green,
that it is very difficult to read.
Those jumping and spinning beads and moving dots cause migraine headaches.
After two pages, I had to quit
Linda (Crabby Lady®) - 01-2001

I am doing research on the glycemic index.
Your information is some of the best information I've come across.
Thanks so much.
ICANI - 02-2001

I very much enjoyed your site.
It is loaded with information and I have used it many times.
You are to be commended for the research and work that it must have taken to place it on-line.
Once again thanks for your site, it is very good.
Michael, Vermont - 02-2001

A fantastic website! what else can I say.
I just wanted to let you know that your website is very educational
and as well gives us a view of what Indians and Metis went through from our governments and from other people of this country.
Keep up the good work.
Bernie Buechman - 02-2001

Your list of the Glycemic Index's are very helpful
they are also extremely frustrating.
My main problem is due to exactly what you have already told many times.
There is no description of the items listed.
Burt Rosenberg - 02-2001

Thanks for such an informative web site.
History buff
Millie Lansing (Ladouceur) - 02-2001

I just found your site after months of dead ends.
It's really nice to touch so much history.
To tell the truth I am so blown away from what I've read that I must go lay down.
Thank you for all your hard work and tell me more.
Darcy Rivest - 02-2001

I was thrilled to find your web pages on Garneau genealogy and congratulate you on a fine job.
I found the history of the name very interesting.
I know it's a dream but wouldn't it be wonderful if I could say;
Ah, so that's what happened to Mary Garneau, born 1825 Quebec 
and be able to tell who her parents were.
Thank you again for putting the Garneau Genealogy on the web.
Margaret Torode, New Zealand - 03-2001

I frequently refer to your website and your Metis history.
I must commend you on the excellence of your work.
You have obviously put years of hard work into its creation.
Gary Still - 03-2001

I noticed in your photo gallery section a small error concerning the picture
"Five of the earliest Indian inhabitants of St. Mary's Falls 1855"
(actually it was a big error in people identification)
I was speaking with David Hawkins from TVO Ontario regarding Metis history
we both spoke highly of your website and the vast amount of content it holds.
Take care Dick and keep up the great work.
Heather Cadotte Armstrong better known as "Sneakers" - 03-2001

Thank you for all the research you have done on the Metis and
I have really enjoyed seeing all the wonderful research you have done.
Will be further reading your websites.
A grateful fan and continue your brilliant work.
Sharon Emond - 03-2001

Oh how happy I was when I came upon your site,
and much happier that the name I was researching started with a "G".
Your Genealogy Potpourri was very helpful to me,
and gave me a lot of information that I did not have.
Pierrette Pearson - 03-2001

Hi I read your Alberta History web pages and found it excellent,
I am very impressed.
My sister married a "Majeau", she is also very interested in this history..
She did have a correction though (which was changed).
Keith Woolridge/Marion Majeau - 03-2001

Thanks so much for your research, 
I have today, reviewed your web page, 
what a tremendous job you have done, for mankind!!!!!!.
Dan LeBlanc - 03-2001


I have search high and low for a (family) connection and
I stumbled across your site and what a site it is!.
Freida Marie Taylor - 04-2001


I was lucky enough to stumble across your Metis pages tonight.
I will be reading avidly for a long time.
Your work is wonderful, daring, detailed and full of information
I would like to have millions of people see.
I am so very happy to see it on the web and I salute you for your depth of caring
and your stamina over the years
Carolyne Gould - 04-2001


First let me start by saying your webpages are incredible.
I refer to them many many times.

Gloria Williams - 04-2001


Thank you so much for all your time and efforts
it took to compile and make the site for Metis History, 
I will be reading now for a long time.

J. Dreyer - 04-2001


I found your webpage very interesting.
Diane Gratton - 04-2001


I am still reading your webpages 
but wanted to take a moment to comment on your "Euro History 101".
I tell ya, it was literally a bloody mess, and still is in some areas.
Thanks for putting your site together so that the rest of the cyberworld might learn something.
Melanie - 05-2001


I've enjoyed your website several times and will be back.
As I work on my history I am proud of all my roots.
Thank you for all the hours and research you've put on your site to share with us.
Fondest regards
Cathy Taylor - 05-2001


I am a Metis of French-Canadian descent,
and have been doing research on my ancestors for almost five years.
My main problem, of course, has been to trace my first western ancestors back to Quebec.
You cannot image my joy, then, by coming across your history.
I finally found the missing link...
an explanation and history of how most of our ancestors made their way 
from Quebec to Red River.  Thanks for your work in safeguarding our history.
Marc Boyer - 05-2001


Thanks for putting the Glycemic Index up, I was glad to find such a complete list online.
Brandy - 05-2001


I only read Alberta11.html. 
Though the information that you presented is interesting, it is disjointed and difficult to read. 
This is largely due to spelling, grammatical, tense and punctuation mistakes.
Stormy - 05-2001


I'm quite impressed by your site. 
It is so informative and complete, you must be a great genealogist. 
A lot of years work must have been spent on such a project.
Madeleine Herault - 05-2001


Who are we?
The Northern Ontario Metis around Lake Nipigon and Lake Superior 
now refer to themselves as Woodland Metis.
Even today the Metis Nation of Canada bases their membership 
by Red River genealogical records.
We are Halfbreeds but not Metis in the eyes of the Red River Metis.
Maybe we are Lake Nipigon Metis or Lake Superior Metis?
We achieved Provincial, Federal and International acceptance 
but are still not regarded by the Metis of Red River as real Metis.
Just a few pondering thoughts.
D Thompson - 06-2001


This (site) could be valuable to many communities however
I am reluctant to use the information because
of the lack of a bibliography/sources of information.
D Pelletier - 06-2001


I was wondering if you know what happened to Halcro Lake or Chakastapaysins band 
of the South Saskatchewan River area?
Tannis Nielson - 06-2001


Words cannot express my gratitude to you for your fantastic website.
I am so glad I found it.
The great wealth of information from your many years of research,
which you so freely share, will benefit me greatly.
I write novels.
Evangeline Blanco - 06-2001


I am a Metis guy in Nova Scotia
and really liked a lot of what you had to say on your site
makes a lot of sense.
It was a real weird way that I found the site but I am very glad I did.
This year seems to be the year where I learn how to feel comfortable with me
and my ancestry and spiritual beliefs.
When I see sites like this that puts things I have been thinking in perspective
it is a good thing for me.

Mike - 06-2001


Thank you for all the wonderful information and dedication.
You are an inspiration to anyone with a sense of history
and the importance of knowing who you are and where we come from.
Tom Glassel - 06-2001


THIS IS FANTASTIC READING.
You have got to have this in hardcopy 
or a place where it can be down loaded in it's entirety.
A Perrier - 06-2001


I am writing a paper on the impact of Contact of Canada's Aboriginal people.
I would appreciate it if I could use some of your quotes in my paper?
Sandra Wills - 07-2001


I have been going over your website & found some very interesting information.
Love the site. Thanks.

Audrey - 07-2001


I have made several visits to you site and truly appreciate the work you have done.
I would like to copy some of your material to help with my genealogy research.

Clarey - 07-2001


I feel this is very great what you have done.
I feel that it is important that you include us in you site for the rest of the family to know.
I will have to do some research of my own to give you.
By the way....I always knew that the Garneau family holds a strong and wonderful history in Canada.

Corrie Garneau - 07-2001


Great deal of research must have gone into this. Wow!
How did you find all of this stuff?

R Rozon - 07-2001


Just read your site.
FANTASTIC!

P. Bohall - 07-2001


I read about your reasons why you did not write a book
Same reason I did not continue.
I began writing and gave up after only a few pages.
However, you have much more information than I do.
Most of my information is on Acadians, although they are very much intertwined.

Gaby Vienneau - 08-2001


I've been trying to establish my heritage.
Your web site is an amazing work.
I trust you are Metis and that you are recognized for your efforts.

George Roberts - 08-2001


Just stumbled on your website -- very impressed....
My comments are off the record for now, but highly positive.
Just a short note to tell you that your voice in the darkness is not alone.
Keep up the good work!

R. Moir - 08-2001


I just wanted to send you a big "thank you" for the great site.
I know there are hours and hours of work involved
and can see it certainly was a labor of love.
I have many ancestors from the Metis culture 
involved in the history you have put together.
I truly appreciate your work.
For the hundreds who use this site and learn about this great history and tradition.
...I say THANKS...

Thom Smith - 08-2001


I am a descendant of the (1918) orphaned children of the Garneau family.
I have only explored a very small part of your website
and I am very impressed.
I have it listed on my favorites for further exploration.
Lorraine Garneau - 08-2001


I came upon some related family information on your Metis site.
Very good site, by the way.
I periodically check back and read more,
as I was previously unfamiliar with this.
Jim Zielinski - 08-2001


I enjoy your site and have bookmarked it.
I know what it is like to misplace a heritage.
I married a status Indian who understands me.
Thank God.
Alexa - 08-2001


I just wanted to lend my moral support to the health related information on your web site,
especially the information regarding the Glycemic Index, diabetes and various medical myths.
I am writing this so you and others may know that there are still a few with traditional mainstream medicine who have not closed their eyes to the truth.
I have researched these topics for many years 
and it is comforting to see the truth being told for what it is.
Thank you.
Jeff - 08-2001


Kool Site.
Thanks for letting me see your website.
Looks like a lot of work.
Mack - 08-2001


Your Metis site has been selected as an approved site for educational internet service.
WebPathExpress helps students find online resources for homework assignments,
reports and other areas of research.
Your site provides excellent educational value.
Follett Software Co. - 08-2001


I have just received my Metis card in the mail,
now I'm not sure what good it does me.
Rosie - 09-2001


Thank you for taking the time to put together a website about Metis ancestry.
I wondered what exactly it was, I am French Metis with Scottish ancestry.
I just say I'm Canadian.

Michielle - 09-2001


I just discovered your web site.
My grand parents moved from Couer d'Alene, Idaho 
to farm north west of Morinville about 1905.
Your website offers me my first opportunity 
to understand what happened in this area over the last century.
Thanks so much.   I look forward to studying your work.
Francis - 09-2001


I have some more information on the Garneau family history!
If you could include my grandma in the web-page, it would mean alot to my family.
Jordon Rivest - 09-2001


I've read your site with great interest.
Thanks again for your informative and fascinating website.
Frances Cruden - 09-2001


Thanks very much for deciding to publish your research on Alberta's history on the web.
I just started my own pursuit of my ancestors.
Thanks again for this comprehensive site!
It is impressive by the immense scale and detail!
David Bird - 09-2001


I have just spent some time scanning some of the material on your site.
I am sure I will return to it again.
There is a lot of information there.
I am just starting to research my family history.
Anyway, thanks for all your work.  
It has given me insight into the history of the area my father grew up in 
and placed it in historical perspective.

Maureen - 09-2001



I was randomly searching for information about my family and came across your site.
Thank you so much for the information and for putting together this site.
I have never even ventured to wonder who came before my 
great-grandparents, but your site has me very curious.

Chandra - 10-2001


I want to take a moment to thank you sincerely for all the work that you have done on your site.
I like many others am trying to find my roots.
We are all interconnected.

Gene Charron - 10-2001


What a wonderful piece of work.

Kevin L. - 10-2001


I'm delighted to find your site.

Errol Pritchard - 10-2001


I posted a "salute" to your text at your website.
I have to consider your comment about the Midianites as brilliant!!!
Wow....what a smart writer! This sounds just like my "proxy tribe" scenario!
It's not clear to me who this fellow is writing... but he sure sounds pretty clever to me!

George Brooks - 10-2001


Just came upon your Garneau family..(website)..lovely;;;;;;;.

Betty Demers - 10-2001


I can't find anything good on my project that is on coureur de bois
and the stuff I do find are the exact opposite of what the history text book
and history teacher tells us
so maybe you should get true information.

from someone at AOL - 10-2001


Thanks for your assistance.
You have done a great job on your genealogy site.
I enjoyed looking through it.

Andrea Dyck - 10-2001


Thank you for your help!
Your website is just wonderful. Merci

Leah - 10-2001


I enjoy your Metis history site and am still reading it over.
This is an aspect of history that has long needed a voice.
I do think however you should lay out the history and not editorialize.
Do not make the mistake you accuse the Jesuits of,
and think that I am without a brain and incapable of drawing my own conclusions.
Also, reference to Massacre Island, a location error (being corrected).
As I reread my message to you, one part sounds quite a bit harsher than I meant it to sound.
I am really enjoying your web-site. Many of our ancestral names appear.

Pierre Girard - 10-2001


Proper grammar
The proper use of your is possesive, such as, This is you car.
So, if you are dragging the addvertisements... should read if you're still dragging...
Otherwise I enjoyed your site.

Leslie Kallen - 10-2001


I was on the web to help my son do a project on his great great grandfather for school.
I could not believe my eyes when I came across your site.
You have done a tremencious job.
Thank you for the work you have done here, I cannot wait to read it all.

Patti Gallant - 10-2001


I just read many pages of your Metis History and I want to thank you for publishing it.
It gave me a much better understanding of the place of (full blood or half blood) Amerindians in our history....and they indeed deserve a more important place in it.
Cordiales salutations

Jean Claude Farly - 10-2001


I was just wondering after perusing your interesting site if you keep up with the advances in dating techniques?
The radio carbon dating is accurate to within ± 700 years not 8,000 as reported on your site.
This is due to ongoing research in the field that recognizes that carbon 14 is not even throughout the years but fluctuates.

Pat Adams - 10-2001


I found your site very good and informative,
will have to go back and do much more research
you've done a fabulous job!!!!

Rick Martel - 11-2001


I have spent the last several hours exploring your history.
If it were a book, I'd say I could hardly put it down.
The more genealogy I do, the more I am convinced we are all related,
as unhappy as that would make some people.

Jean Marchand - 11-2001


I have just visited your site for the first time.
I'm really impressed by your site, for some reasons including the following:
I'm a member of the (Garneau) family.
I'm a professional social anthropologist.
I research the history of the Anishnabe Nation
I'm interested by my own genealogy.
Thank you for this very interesting site (I now go back to reading it).

Jean Pierre Garneau - 11-2001


Awesome work!
I just wanted to let you know that your work is one of the finest I've see online and offline.
To read everything you wrote would be like finishing an advanced degree in History and Anthropology in a few hours.
I think you should publish your European history as a book.

Warren Gilbert - Philippines - 11-2001


A great site!
This is a great site and I am enjoying it!
You have done lots and lots of hard work and it shows!
I am descended from Gov. Vaudreuil and on my mother's side from LaSalle. 
My husband says that I get my lack of sense of direction from LaSalle.
Again - a great site and thank you for all your hard work!

Cecile Hamel Roy - Malta - 11-2001


In the course of my genealogical research on the web,
I have had the pleasure of visiting your extraordinary site.
I can only guess at the time and energy you must have devoted to this endeavor.
Being an information pack-rat, I am very impressed.

Mona Andree Rainville - 11-2001


Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Metis History.
I look forward to the time your research brings you closer to the Canadian "Northwest" (B.C)

Dennice Goudie - 11-2001


Thanks for the quick reply.
I love the website, very informative!!

Dennice Lamb - 11-2001


Congratulations and thank you.
(Robert made a very good point concerning the use of the term sauvage (savage).
I have included his full text on the first page of my New France section.
I also included a link to his web site under New France Culture)

Michel Robert - 11-2001


I looked at your site in more detail.
Truly an amazing amount of detailed information 
on a topic about which many people are unaware.
As a historian and retired librarian, 
I can appreciate the value of your site as an educational tool.
Best of luck on your continuing work

Walter Dornfest - 11-2001


Thank you for all of the effort you have put into your website.
It is a wonderful source for Metis and Native history.

Rosemary Evans - 11-2001


My brother and I were in an Indian Boarding School,
in Sisseton, South Dakota.
The memories were not *good* as it was run by the nun's.
I have been enjoying your site, very, very, much, thank you.

Anna - 11-2001


I have been enjoying your wonderful website on Metis history,
which includes several references to some of my ancestors

Ron Backman - 12-2001


I have just been enjoying your fine site with its great accumulation of information.
It does contain facts on a number of my ancestors.

Harry Tatro - 12-2001


I would like to commend you on your web site.

Christian Adam - 12-2001


I feel very fortunate to have "met" you this past year.
I can only wish that we will keep in touch in the coming year
and who knows perhaps some day we will all get together 
to celebrate our ancestors and our roots.
Meegwetch (Thank You) for sharing your research with me.

Red Hawk Woman - 12-2001


I love your site. There is nothing like it anywhere. The information is priceless.
However, it is "messing up."
(Karen provided details)
Thank you for your time.
An absolute fan

Karen Chapdelaine - 12-2001

(Yup! I tried something new and goofed)
((((((Hugs for Karen)))))))

Thank you for your website, it is quite interesting.
I have found many of my family on your website.
