I would love to share my information with you, in addition I would like to find out whatever information you can give me about my family.

My heritage traces to Narcisse Frenier, a Bois-brule fur trader from Canada. I've heard he was one of several brothers. He Married Susan Crawford, the granddaughter of Tatanka-mani(Sisseton chief)in 1818 in Minnesota. He was born in 1790 and disappeared during a fur trading expedition. I think it is possible that he may be related to(brother of)the Lafrenieres that you talk about. Their daughter, Susan Frenier, born 1819, married Joseph Renshaw Brown.

What is your connection to Sacajawea. I have traced my ancestry back to Sacajawea. Supposely Sacajawea adopted my great grandmother and raised her. Let me know what info you have. Ellen

Ellen, I'm not sure if there is an actual relationship. I was told she was a relative as a child, but I have only found other prominent Native American relatives that are proven to be part of my heritage. As I mentioned earlier, an Ancestor, James Aird, married Grey Cloud Woman, who was the daughter of Chief Wabasha. James aird spent time with Lewis and Clark. This is documented. This means he also spent time with Sacagawea. Whether his wife was known to or related to Sacajawea is unclear.If you can give me all the specific genealogy that you know, I'll see if I can find any links. At the least, my people knew your people. Looking forward to hearing from you. My e-mail is sonjalende@aol.com
