Poly-ev, His great grandfather migrated from France to Saskatchewan.
I think I saw where someone else said that as well but when I did a search, it only said that his ancestry was French-Canadian and that his father was Fransaskois (French-speaking people from Saskatchewan). I assumed that his ancestry probably contained some history of being part of a group that originally moved there from Quebec sometime likely in the 1800s when lots of French fur traders moved west. However, that was just speculation....
If you have details of his great-grandfather moving there from France, I’d be interested in looking at that.
