A Canadian Family

Evelyn In Montreal: Owen McOmber

A query from an American, Owen McOmber

I have been researching the relationship between the McOmber (mine) family and the Caughnawagas Indians. I found reference to George McOmber had a brother who moved to Canada and married a daughter of a chief and he also becoming a Caughnawagas chief. Can you validate this story? My Grandfatther Owen McOmber and father, Owen McOmber are from Canada.

The McCombers are of course an important family of Kahnawake (aka Caughnawaga). I wonder whether you have evidence connecting you to the Kahnawake McCombers or whether you are just guessing? I say this because I have not found any Owen MCombers though they might have been known under other names.

I did find these McCombers in the Alberta area in 1916. I am calling your attention to this family because the Owen name is uncommon AND they are listed as immigrating to the U.S. in 1912.
