1) You must acquire an OFFICIAL GENEALOGY that identifies a
Metis Nation Ancestor.
a) An official genealogy can be
obtained from one of the following recognized Genealogical
Institutions:
St. Boniface Historical Society
340
Provencher Boulevard
Telephone: 233-4888
www.shsb.mb.ca
(If a genealogy is
produced by a genealogical institute not mentioned above please contact the
Manitoba Metis Federation Registrar at 586-8474).
A genealogy of a family
member can be used (with their approval), if you can produce a documented link
to the genealogy. For instance if you use your aunts genealogy you must have
your parent’s (the parent who is related to your aunt) long form birth
certificate or baptism certificate, which show will show the same mother and
father as on your aunts genealogy. Then you must have your long form birth
certificate or baptism certificate to prove your relationship to your
parent.
