The father's name is also Joseph Foisy.  I can't make out the mother's first name, but her last name appears to be Boivert.  Hope this helps.

Doubt you'll find any metis bkgd. through these records... You might have better luck finding a relative who may have some knowledge of the history...

The 1921 has a Foisy family living on reserve...Caughnawaga Indian Reserve, Laprairie-Napierville, Quebec ...

Yes, the mother's name in this record certainly could be Marie Louise.

Thank you for your assistance.

Joseph Foisy married Marie Angelique Thibodeau, who is Acadian Mi'kmaq Metis, and descended from Henri Membertou and Marie Mitesamegke, via both Aimee and Catherine Jeanne Lejeune.

Great news.  Our DNA tests came back from Accu-Metrics.  They said were part Mi'kmaq/Cree.

For those who doubt Catherine Lejeune's native background, if we didn't pick up our Grandmother's DNA then we sure got Micmac from somebody else.
