Hi:
I see The Bernier name started abt 1400's,that we came from France(1-80 orig.colonists to New France,Quebec),Orleans area.I have learned that Montreal Centre,Quebec,Indian Lands,all over CAN. What Indian tribes am I from? I was told by my grandpa William Joseph Bernier that we were Chinook/Sioux Indian.The story he told was a Indian girl was impregnated by a Bernier.In order for baby to live, they had to say the baby was Chinook Indian, not Sioux back in the 1700's.That's all he said.My GGrandpa name was Augusta Lawrence(b.1866-d-??/where?)He married Elizabeth Lapierre my GG(b-5/19/1879-d-12/2/1971 in Milwaukee,WI USA.I don't know where he is buried or know anything about my GG or GG Elizabeth.My GG Grandparents were Pierre Bernier married Celanire Talon.Elizabeth Lapierre's parents names were Napoleon & Anastasia,Quebec.I've hit a brick wall due to lack of info.on Anastasia's middle name,maiden name so on so I can continue on my journey.Help! I'm limited on typing due to disabilities so if anyone can share my lineage,Indian heritage & figuring out who I am I would appreciate it.Are there any pictures of my ancestors out there? If so, could u send them to me? My email address is sbernier3@wi.rr.com. Looking for relatives out there.Family is important to me.Hope you can reply to me as soon as possible. God Bless to all my Canadian,French,Indian relatives out there!! Susanne Bernier
