Simon J. Bonga, son of William Bonga (son of George Bonga, son of Pierre Bonga, son of Jean Bonga), was my grandfather. He died in 1926 in Minneapolis at the age of 46 years and left three children. Later, five grandchildren were born. Now there are six great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. I have family photos dating to 1870s, inherited from Simon's wife, Josie Lyons Bonga, my grandmother. Would you like to add all these names to the Ojibwe geneology website?
