Seeking information on Fortin family of Terrebonne
In 1821, my 3x great grandfather, George Busby Clarke, married Marie Amable Fortin (born 1798 in Terrebonne). They lived there after their marriage.
I know that I have an indigenous ancestor and I’m trying to identify this person. I have read that Fortin was an indigenous as well as French surname and I wonder if there is any way to find out if she was in fact from an indigenous family - and she might be the ancestor I’m trying to find!
