A Canadian Family 
Hello, I’m looking for information on Abraham Obey and he was our great grandfather. We know he came from First Nations Mi”kmaq tribe New Brunswick . We did find birth date, death certificate but looking for what reserve he would have been from. Any help would be appreciated. His daughter was Ida Obey and she married my grandfather. Trying to find their native background which I always wanted to do. Thanks in advance

Hello, I just noticed your comment again, and wonder whether there’s any chance that your ancestors were the French Canadian AUBE. If so, then you should also check this out in case there’s something that relates- https://acanadianfamily.wordpress.com/2021/10/31/aube-chippewa-first-nations-montagnais-surname-anchor-post/

Also, Can you share the name of Ida Obey’s husband along with their marriage date – or estimated marriage date. Evelyn
