Have you had any success in your Genealogy research?
My problem has been similar ... Virgina (West Virgina) the Census didn’t count Indians or Colored ... my Grandmother was both and I haven’t been able to find anything about her parents ... (her siblings have also passed)

It’s been like hitting a wall.
My next move is to get my grandfathers military records. Then I will know his parents’s names, places and dates of actual births, and can research from there. I do know that his mother was born in Memphis, TN, in 1874; but we know nothing about his father who was from Massachusetts. (I guess you have to be really careful about marrying a Yankee!)
