Native Roots

Updated January 17, 2010

About Our Family Research


Many roots and branches
needing attention

some branches have famous Indian Chiefs
some registered in Indian Nation
some were rejected

many of the historial indian names that others
are researching managed to be in our family tree
yet not in my direct line.

actually this family tree became a kudzoo vine
with over 18,000 members

my direct line said NO WAY to the Trail of Tears and became "white" thinking they would be free

This page is actually the entry to the rest
of our research. Genforum failed to send
me the sign in name and password for the
old webpage, after repeated requests
and when you toss your cookies,
you can't get back in, so here we go
<giggles>

We are Native American, speak English, and
never lived in a teepee :)

We grew up with truth and honor. Respect
for all creations. A passion for art and music
runs strong in our family.

As a young child in Montgomery,I played with the kids next door
who were full blood Indian; the Jackson family got along
so well with mine and our mothers had a lot in common
with their recipes, hobbies and customs.

In Arizona many spoke spanish; I remember a huge Catholic church where we all went for vaccinations but best of all were the outdoor festivals held there.


I love working on our family tree but unable to travel
to the many places required to get more facts, so
I add my little collection of old photos,
notes, and stories
so enjoy !

Much love and appreciation to my wonderful aunts and cousins working on this line. One of my new online cousins turned out to be my best friend from high school and our paths crossed as we both researched our grannies; such fond memories of a truly wonderful friend, Linda.
