About Albert Pakamanakwad George

Albert George is #557 on the 1907 Wooster Roll. He is the brother of Thomas George who is #487 on the same 1907 Wooster Roll. Albert George's traditional name is listed as "Pakamanakwad" meaning "Coming Cloud", a spirit name shared, sometimes with minor variations, with other Potawatomi descendants. Because of this complexity it is necessary for the given translation to receive scrutiny and comment by someone with expertise in the Anishinaabemowin language and Potawatomi culture. On the 1907 Wooster Roll the residence of Albert George is reported as Kettle Point Reservation. In modern times this predominantly Chippewa community which invited Potawatomi people to join it in the 1830's, is now called "The Chippewas of Kettle Point and Stony Point First Nation". The website for this community (https://kettlepoint.org/ the community) indicates that "The Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation is located in southern Ontario along the shores of Lake Huron, 35km from Sarnia, Ontario, near the Michigan border. The community has 1,000 members who live on the reserve and 900 who live off the reserve."

For modern perspective about the history of this community see http://www.kspcommunityculture.ca/ . Within this website at the sublink http://www.kspcommunityculture.ca/history/techumseh.html is the story that the Georges are descended from George Mandoka, originally Mandoka, who was given the name George after the monarch in Britain. His relatives then assumed the last name George after their father.

The alternate "Comchi" name is unconfirmed but appears in myheritage.com/names
