Hey, want to play detective?

Ever wonder about who some of your ancestors were and whether one of them may have been a famous person like Gabriel Dumont?

Now is your chance. The Louis Riel Historical Society of Edmonton is sponsoring a course one evening per week for four weeks called Tracing Your Metis Roots.

The program is designed to show people how to trace their family lines, what sources of information are available, interviewing techniques and how to put this information together.

There's a limit of 30 registrants for the course at $30 each, so register now. The sessions are scheduled to run April 5, 12, 19 and 26 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Suite 100, 12120 ? 106 Ave., Edmonton. For further information, call Sheila at 488-8500.
