Hello,
Would you have any information regarding a Josephine Beaulieu who married Joseph Louis Rondeau at Ft Garry, Man in 1827? They moved to Ft. Snelling, MN in about 1835 and later became founding citizens of Minneapolis. They are my great, great grandparents and I have not been able to trace Josephine's ancestry at all other than she was Metis (possibly Kootenai/French) and was likely born around 1810.
Hoping you can provide some help.
Cheers,
Larry

Hello Larry
Sorry not to get back to you sooner.
There are a number of Rondeau's whoapplied for Scrip from the 1854
Treaty with the Chippewa of Lake Superior, and subsequent investigation
by U.S. Congress of the fraudulent 'secondary market' in scrip-trading,
mostly by land, lumber, and mining speculators in St. Paul, Minnesota,
included some potentially helpful tidbits of testimony:
