The earlier Manitoba Scot would be on the Métis section of the Canadian
Archives as original settles. I have the Crooks that came to the Niagara
region about 1790. The records are from family bibles. The early Manitobans
were French.

My Scots part of the family were Selkirk settlers to Manitoba and who
trickled into Ontario from there beginning c 1817. Dad's family came into
the Niagara region beginning c 1780ish. I'd hoped to find some immigration
info on the lists but I now think it was too early for Canadian records.
You do a good job with your lists so keep up the good work. Have a great
day,
