Rick Dondo's Family Tree
Parish of Saint-Francois-Xavier, Red River Settlement, Rupert's Land, British North America
Tree: Rick Dondo's Family
Notes:
The parishes were the natural units of the Settlement, each with its church and school and its own communal life. That they should have formed the centres around which the administrative divisions of the new province were formed was, therefore, inevitable.
The buffalo hunting post at Pembina, some seventy miles up the Red River, had its Roman Catholic mission. By the boundary settlement of 1818 this was found to lie within the United States. Under persuasion the majority of the settlers moved back into British territory and settled on the Assiniboine about twenty miles west of St Boniface at Prairie du Cheval Blanc (i.e., "White Horse Plain"). A mission begun here by Father Destroismaisons in 1824 developed into the large half-breed parish of St Francois Xavier. Many servants of the North West and Hudson's Bay Companies, released at the time of the companies' uniting in 1821, settled in the parish and it became a rendezvous of the buffalo hunt, the chief occupation of a majority of the French half-breeds.(Source: Manitoba Historical Society)
More details about the various Red River Settlement parishes and a depiction of them on a period map are available here and here (Source: Red River Ancestry).
Shortly after the entry of early Manitoba into the Confederation of Canada in 1870, the territory of this parish was created as a full-fledged Rural Municipality and is mentioned in mentioned in birth, marriage, death, and other important records. However, since them, the RM has seen its borders changed several times. (see RM of St Francois Xavier, Manitoba, Canada)
