Watched your presentation and I’m hoping you could share some insights. My 4X great-Grandfather, William John Frank II, married Margarette Praesendang on 4 Mar 1821 in Dundas, Ontario, Canada. Family history and DNA testing indicates Margarette was Native American, but the marriage record is the only bit of actual data we have been able to find. William Frank II was living in Chinguacousy Township, Peel County, Ontario in 1837 and then moved to Illinois sometime before 1850. They had at least one child, a son William John Frank III born 10 Jan 1827. Ancestry.com has no useful data I could find and I’m hoping you might have some ideas on where to look.
Thanks,
Check Library and Archives Canada for some information and there are a couple books written on First Nations research and you can find the full titles on WorldCat. Good luck. Also use FamilySearch and check the Illinois State Archives website. Good Luck!
