Hello,

I am a member of the Faces to Graves research team in the Netherlands and I am looking for relatives of Charles Nahwegezhic. Can you help me with some information?

 

Sorry all I know is on Ancestry.

 

Too bad, i will continue my search through other channels. Thank you for your response.

 

Hello,

You could contact the Sheguiandah First Nation and ask. There was another brother, Vincent, and two sisters, Pearl and Winnifred.
