An interesting historical character, whose political leanings have proven “difficult to summarize.” He exhibited several seeming reverses in position with respect to securing Métis and original settler rights, in both 1869-1870 and 1885 — alienating other activists, fleeing the contested terrain, then afterward seeking to reconcile, while yet testifying in Crown trials against those who supported the Métis cause. Reputedly, he was known in some circles as “un vire-capot…terrible ce Nolin,” (of fickle loyalties), while others observed “il a eu peur” (he was not particularly brave). Although his behavior suggests he was guided largely by self-interest, he was apparently generous enough to adopt at least two children (while he had nine with his second wife and surviving children from his first marriage as well).

I am the grandson of Gabriel Nolin. I am interested to find out more about Jean Baptiste Lagimodiere (Nolin), son of Rosalie. Was he adopted by Charles, etc. Any other information about William, Maxime Charles Marie, would also be appreciated.
