Hi!
I'm the Genealogist for The Lord Selkirk Association of Rupert's Land, an Association dedicated to preserving the history of the original Selkirk Settlers at Red River and their descendants.
I hope to meet more here who have an interest in the origins of what is now Manitoba. Although my own family were Scottish and English in the 1812 and 1815 groups, I'm always interested in learning more about the other people who populated the area over time.
