Genealogical Proof Standard - this profile lacks all 5 proof elements. At this stage it's a profile needing further research

Flora was born about 1885. She is the daughter of William Bird and Fanny Tabor.

When she applied for Scrip in 1900, Flora had been at the Methodist Red Deer Industrial School (a residential school for a majority Metis ) for 3 years and her parents deceased. [1] Her application also mentions a younger sister Caroline.
