Welcome to the Algoma Aboriginal Ancestors page. At this time, many links are available to First Nation sites, while some offer a history section, most are valuable for contact information. As this site grows, I am hoping to add more resources and direction which will be useful for the researcher. If you have knowledge of information available please drop me a line.
