us the 4 of us

we set out to see if we had any native American blood like our father told us years ago. my youngest sister wanted to know if we had any Jewish blood. i have been working on this and so has my older sister and cousin. i have been working on the computer i have found one Native American blood line that really shocked me. the Pequot. my 10 great grand father married one and had 6 children, how can i tell my sisters. i don’t think they will believe me . not the Pequots.
My Dad
one day we was setting around the dinner table and my sister ask dad where we come from
He told us English, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, then he said Indian which we wouldn’t havenever guest. a few days later he took us to the France Slocum trail before they flooded it. he wanted us to see it before it was gone. and told us we were Miami we have a long way to go to prove it. he passed away for we could.
now we could use some help proving native American blood lines is hard.

Unfortunately, if your ancestors are not on any of the Indian Rolls or listed as “Indian” on a Census record, you have joined the millions of us who will never be able to prove our Indian heritage and be recognized by the Federal government as Native American. I believe it has always been a way for the Federal government to limit the claims that were filed and still can be filed, by those of us with Native American heritage. I wish you all the luck in this world and from your ancestors in the Spirit world watching over you.
