Questions from this census. French is crossed of as language spoken by Louise, Eugene and Roland. He spoke Cree - and it is not listed as a language. Did he speak French-Metis? It also says that Eugene, my grandfather, was in school. He told me he only went to Grade 8. They put him in Grade 8 according to his size and age. He sat behind my grandmother. |

Eugene is on the left and Milt is on the right. I am pretty sure this is at St. Albert. Not sure who they are holding, likely Bob and maybe Betty Ann |
