Hello Ava,

I am currently working with a member of Pokagon Band and with Saint Mary's College in Indiana on a research project about the Bertrands. Madeline's lineage has stumped us, as there seems to be a lot of conflicting documents on her in the archives. You mentioned in your post that you have a baptismal record of hers, and I was wondering if it would be at all possible to see a copy of that record.

As far as this genealogy goes, there might be a person or two that I can put you in contact with, who have done further research on the Bertrand's and Bourasa's.

Please let me know if you are interested in helping us out. Thank you!
