Ancestry.com was free for a while. It may be a pay site by now but you can trace your roots pretty good there

Hi guys,

I have been on Ancestry.com and I believe it does cost to

see certain things, but the forum thing doesn't cost. I got

in touch with some cousins of mine through the different

post on there. I need to get on there and see if some of them

have posted anything lately. Found some cool information on

there. It's cool. Hope you can find what you are looking

for.

Hey soundminded,


I heard I was related to her too somehow. I do have native

american blood in me.

Wow really? I have a chart of the bloodline... my father gave it to me.


It's just hard to tell, though, cause look how pale and pasty I look. LOL.


I can't tan to save my life.


It's kinda hilarious!

Sound I know what you mean, I am fair too, and have very little tan. My brothers even look more indian than I do. LOL

Maybe you can send me an e-mail on here and tell me some of the

geneology. I really can't figure how we could be related to

her, but somewhere down the line I guess we are somehow. That

part of my family is very puzzling anyhow. I have a cousin who

did a lot of research, but I don't know what all she came up

with. Would be interesting to see one day. Take it easy.

Thats amazing...It must be so much fun for u to find all this info...

Mbe u could give some hints for others to info out there for others...

The only thing I could find was my grandfather and just a litttle history of my father and brothers and Aunt listed in the article of my grandfather in the Hall of Fame...

Did come across..Name change back generations...I actually really like my original last name..I really like my last name to...not giving it up again either...lol

I would really enjoy hearing more from u about ur family history and how u found so much...
