Most of our sources pertain to people who were living in the Prairie Provinces in 1900 or earlier.

One unique collection is the Gail Morin who donated her 40,000 name data base to the archive in 2011. The data base is ancestral quest format and all in families with sources.

-==History==
+{{Indians of North America-stub}}
-*Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, the region was inhabited by Algonquian (Ojibwe, Cree and Algonquin) in the northern/western portions, and Iroquois and Wyandot (Huron) people more in the south/east. During the 17th century, the Algonquians and Hurons fought the Beaver Wars against the Iroquois.
-* From 1634 to 1640, Hurons were devastated by European infectious diseases, such as measles and smallpox, to which they had no immunity. By 1700, the Iroquois had seceded from Ontario and the Mississaugas of the Ojibwa had settled the north shore of Lake Ontario. The remaining Huron settled north of Quebec.
-*The first European settlements were in 1782–1784 when 5,000 American loyalists entered what is now Ontario following the American Revolution. The Kingdom of Great Britain granted them 200 acres land and other items with which to rebuild their lives. The British also set up reserves in Ontario for the Mohawks who had fought for the British and had lost their land in New York state.
-*Other Iroquois, also displaced from New York were resettled in 1784 at '''the Six Nations reserve''' at the west end of Lake Ontario. The Mississaugas, displaced by European settlements, would later move to Six Nations also.
-*American troops in the War of 1812 invaded Upper Canada across the Niagara River and the Detroit River, but were defeated and pushed back by the British, Canadian fencibles and militias, and '''First Nations warriors.'''<ref>"Ontario", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario#History, accessed 26 October 2020.</ref>

-'''If you have First Nations ancestry''' certain additional records can help better identify those ancestors. Before you can effectively search First Nations records:
-#Identify a First Nations ancestor and learn where he lived. Use records described on the [[Canada Genealogy|Canada]] Wiki page, particularly [[Canada Census|census]] and [[Canada Church Records|church records]].
+[http://www.ushistory.org/us/1c.asp Algonkian], lived in the uplands of eastern Canada.
-#Identify the tribe or band. When you know the general area where an ancestor lived, you can usually identify his or her tribe. Use various handbooks that describe the tribes that lived in an area, such as: '''''Handbook of Indians of Canada''''' (Ottawa: Geographic Board of Canada, 1912). [https://www.worldcat.org/title/handbook-of-indians-of-canada/oclc/865812422 WorldCat] {{FSC|113490|title-id|disp=FamilySearch Library}}.
-#Study the history of the tribe. You will need some background information about the tribe, such as (a) migration patterns, (b)&nbsp;marriage and naming customs, and (c) affiliations with government agencies or churches. If the tribe moved several times, records may be in many locations.

-One unique collection is the Gail Morin database. The collection consists of a database of 65,434 records of persons who were Metis ancestors. For each individual, dates and places of birth, baptism, marriage, death, and burial, and notes on sources are given if known. Using Ancestral Quest software, the data can be linked to show genealogical relationships in the form of pedigree charts and descendancy charts. The database is available only with the assistance of the Archives staff in the reading room of the Glenbow Archives. The database is fully searchable online.
