Hello Lindsey. My great, great,great, etc grandfather was a Charbonneau and he came over from France with his wife. They had as far as i know 8 children. I am descended from one brother while the grandson of another married Sacajewea. So yes there is a connection but it is not direct, it is the old 8th cousin twice removed type of thing, haha. Your parents can expalin that i hope as it still messes me up. It is nice to see that you are interested in where you come from as it is important to know your past, and it can be a great hobby.
If you are truly interested in learning about your families past, ask as many of your uncles and aunts questions about their families, their parents, grandparents all that stuff. You will be surprised what they will remember and even the stories they can tell. If you have a tape recorder it will be even better. You can record tales that future generations would love to hear. And it gives you valuable information on tape you can go back to later for research.
Well i have been rambling enough. Good luck in your searching, and if ok with parents i can be contacted at Jmus2u@aol.com
Sincerely, Joe Musial
