I worked for the Canadian Fur Company on Mayer Street in Montreal in 1970. I am trying to find information on a fur matcher by the last name of Krupp. I am not finding any history on this company although they were a large supplier of furs to the retail stores. Any information would be much appreciated.

My ancestor had Hudson Bay Company shares after the Amalgamation of 1821.
My grandfather operated a HBC post in The Pas, Manitoba.
An active Crown Patent entitles us to Crown Land for my ancestors who were WILLED to the McGillivray twins in Upper Canada which I claim for the descendants.
