Why I Am Writing
Is to let you know you may be Native American, even with
European, African, Hispanic, or other cultural and racial backgrounds. Why?
Because, early explorers married the Native women in what was called the
“West Indies”, “New Spain”, or “New England”.
No matter what your name search the wide variety of Genealogical Sites,
including:
·
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote
for other listings start with the keyword: “genealogy”.
A Good Place to Start
Start gathering information about your family by talking to
your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and older siblings, anyone that
knows about your family’s history, be sure to write it down.
In case You Didn’t Know
In American History our Founding Father’s thought it right
to treat the Native American Indians with respect and dignity. However, Congress wrote and Andrew Jackson
signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830, in response to the prompting by the
Governor of Georgia because the Cherokee had gold mines and greedy men wanted
the gold. The military was used to
remove the Indians west of the Mississippi River. This movement was called the
“Trail of Tears”.
