Treaty Status

The majority of our bloodline is Treaty Status Indian and I have full-status. When I started researching my family, I found my grandmother's last name changed five different times. It all depended on who was recording the names.

At that time my grandmother didn't write English so the priests recorded her name on the forms. One priest was French and he wrote it 'Simard'. Another one was English and he wrote it 'Seymour'.
