List of Metis Surnames of Ontario
INTRODUCTION
This project is focused on Metis surnames that appear in Ontario and originated primarily with the Metis of western and central Canada. It complements the census and marriage data found elsewhere on the site and is intended as a finding aide.
Most surnames on this list were initially extracted from the Metis Nation of Ontario lists, after which I added others from the next two or three generations who descended from those families.
SOURCES
The marriages in my database are derived from various sources such as provincial vital records, Metis scrip, the Genealogical Society of Utah, Groupe BMS2000 etc. I do not copy information directly from other secondary or tertiary sources, so there is a lot of “alternative” spelling in the surnames and names, and my records often vary from those of the Metis Nation of Ontario lists.

Index: A Portrait Gallery of Traditional Quebec Life, Trades & Professions
Some years ago I was combing through the discarded books at my local library when I was lucky enough to come across this wonderfully illustrated volume called Les Anciennes Familles du Quebec. I used it for several years with my students as they worked on family history projects and I’ve decided to share it with readers of this blog because I think it could be very helpful to other teachers of Quebec history as well as to those of you writing your own family histories.

Core Index: First Peoples Genealogy & History
The indigenous peoples of Canada have their own written and oral historical knowledge to draw on when researching their family trees. Unfortunately, for non-indigenous family historians who believe they might have First Nations bloodlines, and who are not connected to a particular indigenous group it can be difficult to know where to even start to trace their lines. This index and the Index: Native/First Peoples/Metis Surnames | Census Extracts) are Finding Aides to help such family historians by listing and locating surnames which have been carried by indigenous people across Canada over the past 150 years or so.
