This genealogy stuff is pretty interesting.
Sacagawea (Lewis & Clark guide) was married to Toussaint Charbonneau, born in 1767.
My great, great, great, great grandmother was Marie Anne Charbonneau, born in 1735.
Maybe Sacagawea is the Native American woman rumored to be in the Audette family. Maybe she is a long lost relative - an in-law from a cousin or uncle, or something like that.
Would be interesting to find out, not sure where to start looking for more information. So far, I have been using information that someone else had dug up - but then I saw that name Charbonneau, and linked it to Sacagawea's husband. None of the family history that I have mentions this link.
Remember that when you leave this Earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given, a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. -St. Francis of Assisi
