If your tree or one you are woking on has French blood, I have something that may connect. The first Henry came from France to Acadia, Nova Scotia in 1660, married a 13 year old and had 14 children . Than until the 1750's when the British took over, many of them and their children married into the Mic Mac, After that some escaped and went west and other were shipped out and scattered. Over 1600 drowned or died at sea. Mine ended up in La. Yes, I am Cajun. Than I was married to A Sioux and now fining that some of the same blood is in both families. I am putting the tree on Tribal Roots.[1500 names so far] You are welcome to look if you like. It goes back to the 1500's. The code is 1943 henryroots.tribalpages.com

RayHenry, I visited your site and it is very interesting. What program did you use to create your website may I ask or did you have a webmaster do it for you?
Louise(a) Bruguier is mis-spelled on your site. She married Theodore Arconge. She is also the great-granddaughter of Chief War Eagle, a Santee adopted by the Yanktons. Her father was Charles "White Bear" Bruguier (1842-1875), Metis son of Theophile Bruguier (first white settler in Sioux City, Iowa) and Julia "Dawn-Anpao" Bruguier, my 4 X great grandparents. Her mother was Maggie "Tatekeka" Hope (abt 1850-?).
If you have Ancestry.com, you may have come across Cheryl Randall's "Maxwell" tree who also has the name mis-spelled exactly as you have it. Her research on the Dickson, Arconge, and Aungie's is the best on Ancestry. Unfortunately, she has not been researching much lately due to health problems and deaths of immediate family. I miss her input dearly and hope if you used her site for info you give her credit for her work.
Thank you for making Metis information available for others, it is truly appreciated.
I would like to say something that has been on my mind for sometime, which is not pointed directly to you, but to ALL family researchers, professional and layperson alike.
"To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. "
It has come to my attention as of late, that work I have spent countless hours researching and have posted to share with my cousins on this site, has been copied and pasted to other press boards with the person doing the copying and pasting taking credit for my labor of love and willingness to share. When others give accolades of WOW! and appreciation for this persons research abilities this person says nothing as to where they got the info but let others believe it is hers. And, the reason I know, it is my work--it is word for word my spelling and my words that I have posted on THIS Oyate site.
I love sharing. It is in my Sioux DNA to do so. But, my ethical teachings tell me it is wrong to take another's work and pass it off and mine. Therefore, I do the best I can to always reference my findings on this site and give credit to my cousins or academic researchers who work so hard in performing the same goal--finding our relatives and delivering the truth as we know it to be.
That is why references are so important, so that we do not pass off misinformation that is repeated over and over until it becomes fact (which is a big issue with Indian research). We all must become diligent and research the researchers information. "Believe none of what you see and half of what you read."
Ethics are important in our work. We are Sioux. And, our morales and ethics are high. Learn to honor our relatives of today and we will honor them of the past and those of tomorrow.

The tree is standard on Tribal Pages although I did pay 19.95 for the extras. Thanks for pointing out my misspelling but I never heard of that lady or her tree. But I do have Ancestry.com. Everything I have on the Arconges, Yellow Clouds and others on that branch of the family is posted on here under Family Trees - Yellow Cloud. That I know of I do not steal but than I am old and forgetful. As for Robert Dickson, what I have is my own research and something I have worked on for the last 10 years. Please feel free to check and report any posting I make or have made for mistakes, misstatements and theft. Thanks, Ray
