There are many versions of Filinda's French first name. Among them are Falinda, Felinda, Falanda, Felonise, Falandise. Sometimes, as in the Minnesota State Census of 1895, the 'F' is replaced with 'Ph'. On Page 982 of the History of Montana, she is identified as "...Philander, who married Ameda Doucette, of Topeka, Minnesota..." in the list of the children of Michel Heroux and Marguerite Ledoux. The article is a biography of Filinda's younger brother, Ezra, whose last name, Heroux, became Ereaux in Montana.
