Information on Coursol or Coursolles in the fur trading business:
You may already be familiar with Joseph Pierre or Pierre Coursol(Coursolle)the fur trader who was the husband of SweetGrass, a full blooded Sisseton Woman. They allegedly died @ 1840.They had a son Joseph Coursolle born @ 1829 near Devils lake,ND.
The son aka Kabupi, was married legally to Jane Kilcool (d/o Cecile Turpin and Michel D. Kilcool,an irishman), and her sister Genevieve Kilcool.

Other Coursols(coursolles)involved in fur trading include:
Michel Coursolle(Coursoll).Michel Coursolle was an officer of the Hudson Bay Trading Company stationed at Fort Malden, Amerstburg,Upper Canada. He died in 1820 in Canada. He married Mary Melanie Quesnell.They had a son named Charles Joseph, born 1819 At Fort Malden, Amherstburg, Upper Canada. where his parents were living.Charles Joseph became a very prominent person in Canadian politics.(Reference: Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online).Charles Joseph and his wife had 4 sons and 2 daughters.
I also found a Michel Coursoll(Coursolle) who was a fur trader along the Illinois and Wabash rivers, and the Michigan Peninsula. He had land holdings in the city of Peoria,Illinois, prior to 1812 with a member of his family, John Marie Coursoll), and a cabin near Ft. Dearborn on the Illinois river. In 1816 he was given a land allotment at Drummond Island by the British.(Chicago Home Encyclopedia).
The progenitor of the Coursolles who settled in Canada and here in the US was alleged to have come from Avernne(sp.)France prior to 1700, and was serving in the French Army. He was sent to Ile de Re, Aunis,France, to help protect it from the British(in the middle 1600's). He allegedly stayed there and established a family. Two of his sons immigrated to Canada and settled there. The one son did not have any offspring, but the other is the one responsible for the Coursolles in Canada, and the ones who came to the US.
(ref. Narrative by Naz).
The father of the two sons, I believe, was possibly, Pierre Coursolle, b. 1675 in Ile de Re,Aunis, France. His first wife was Antoinette Roux or Le Reaux b.@ 1685, Ile de Re,Aunics France.They had at least 2 sons, Jacques born 1705, and Michel b. 1724. Both came to Canada.
However,Pierre's second wife was Jeanne Pacquet, b. @ 1675. They had a son Louis Coursolle.Who also came to Canada and had a family.
Pierre and both wives died in France.
According to the Transcription by Naz, there was a family tree made by a cousin, Ferdinand Coursolle of Montreal Canada, which outlines the Coursolles from France to the United states and Canada.
