Searching for information on my gg grandfather, Fidel Sanhueza’s family and ancestors in Chilé.
I know a lot about him during his time in Canada and up until his death but nothing about his life prior to Canada.

Fidel, aka. Manuel Andrew in Canada was born in Tomé, Chilé. While in Canada he cohabitated or married a First Nations woman named Lucie Jim from the Squamish Indian Band, with whom he had two daughters, Carlotta (Charlotte) b. 1887 and Amelia b. 1889. I have a copy of Amelia’s baptismal certificate on which one of the witnesses is Magdalene Sanhueza (possibly a sister or mother)? Lucie came to the relationship with a daughter from a previous relationship, Madeline b. 1883. Lucie died when Amelia was very young and Fidel then cohabitated with another First Nations woman named Cecelia. On the 1901 Canada Census the family includes Emanuel Andrew (Fidel), Cecelia, Carlotta, Amelia, Teresa and Francis. It is not clear if the youngest children, Teresa b. 1890 and Francis b. 1898, were children of Emanuel and Cecelia.
