Welcome
Most, if not all of the people in Manitoba born with the Zastre name are related to Louis Gonzague Zastre, who came to Manitoba with the Hudson Bay Company in the early 1800's. Of course, there are so many in the family who don't carry the Zastre name, who are also related. Check out the list of surnames that are connected with this family.
We are just starting to build this website to honour all members of this great family. If you have anything you would like to contribute, please let us know.
