I have been looking through the many spiers family trees and I can't find anyone that is connected to our end of the tree. My husbands great grandfather was James William Spiers. we know where his grandfather was born Penkridge,Staffedshire County, he was born James William Spiers also. My husband father was born James Edward and my husband was born James Philip. It would be great to get a little help locating some family tree history. We are trying to find out if there was anyone in the family tree who was a fur trader/ coureur de bois/ voyageur for either the North West Company or the Hudson Bay Company in what is now Canada. Does anyone have any idea where I should go from here?
