In the money for what?

What if 1/16?

Great grandmother married very young...(she was absolutely beautiful)...

..I think she ran away from home.

Dad was always confused if she was 100%, or only 1/2....but she looks totally 100% to me.....

If 1/2, that would make me 1/16, right?

...My grandmother would have been 1/4, Dad 1/8, I 1/16.....

Or I might be 1/8

Did you say she was half? Oops, then 1/16th would be correct.

People who are *1/8th* are eligible to be members of many tribes. Each tribe sets its own standard for membership. For many, if not most tribes, 1/8th is a ticket only to a rich cultural heritage. I used to associate with a woman who was semi-active with her tribe, did pow wows, had a jingle dress & the like. She wanted to make sure her kids learned that half of their heritage, even with their Hispanic surname. Have you checked with her tribe, to see if they have any records about her?

One of my GGMothers married at about age 16. My GGrandDad was about 28 & robbed a cradle! I met her once. She was very old, frail & senile, but remembered enough about my dad to call him "you devil, you". He never outgrew that. lol
