Hi I am having a very hard time finding out any information on my Grandmas history. My Grandam was a Metis from Peace River. Her fathers name is Michelle Lepretre and her mothers name is Pauline Deroshay or Durocher. I am not sure on the spelling of her last name. Everyone including my mother has passed on that side of the family. My Grandmas name is Agnes Margurite Powell and was laid to rest in the Peace River area.

Hi What research have you already done?
Your Grandmother Agnes Margurite POWELL nee LePRETRE
daughter of Michelle LePRETRE and Pauline DEROSHAY or DUROCHER.
Registration of Death for your Grandmother might show the correct spelling of your grandmothers parents.including maiden name.

Death Registration for your GGrandmother Pauline - should show correct spelling of the maiden name.

Marriage of your Grandmother - will show her Maiden name and correct spelling of mother.

Perhaps family connected:

LePRETRE, Emil; Ten Dollars and a Dream; Northern Lights
LEPRETRE; Peace River Remembers; Peace
DESROSIERS, Charles; Turning the Pages of Time; East Peace

other spellings

Hi, I found them in a history book on-line. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=8570 Do a Durocher search in the book and click on page 11 and read the Early Settlers story,Michelle and Pauline are mentioned. Then click on Image 0205 and read the Durocher story. You can use the arrows top or bottom to change pages. Hope it helps, Butch
