Hello.
So far, I have ancestors from Russia, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Indian. That Indian ancestor is giving me lots more trouble than any of the others. My cousin's wife has spent about 20 years trying to find out which tribe she was from but no luck. She was raised by a white family in MS. It is amazing the kind of information on the internet. I never would have been able to find all of this info without it.
Jacobites - I meant Jacobites, rather than Jacobean.
You should see the baby booties I have crocheted in the early morning hours when I can not sleep. These are going to be for my niece's daughter but then I have to make some more for my granddaughter. She came by last night and loved them. It is a very old pattern that I have been making for about 35 years. I have a pattern but I usually do not look at it. Maybe I can take a photo and let y'all see them, the blue dress, and the blankie I have crocheted.
I agree - Indian lineage is difficult to trace. We have an Indian woman in ours, and no one can find the details. I think perhaps her name was changed, and she was anglicized.
She was Cherokee and most folks that I bump into doing research have a story about her existance.
I was hoping Cherokee Nation might help, but haven’t had time to explore.
SO HAPPY YOU’RE feeling better. Don’t be a stranger!
You’re funny - at least you could laugh.
Hadn’t noticed the tootsie rolls - they make my dentures clack!!! *I’m kidding*** but they are hard on teeth!!
Good evening jonny, and thanks for the ping
Thanks for the up-date. I guess they NEED a day without photographers following them everywhere. Leaves us out in the cold, though. LOL!
Thanks for being here, Jonny!
I love that one of the president calling our wonderful
troops! Thank God for them and also for him!
Mine was born about 1854 and we think she was born in MS since that is where she grew up. We have a photo of her with most of her kids. On a census, one of her kids and his family were listed as mulatto which meant Indian mix. My cousin’s wife has been all over the country going to Indian offices to see if she could find info on her but she has not been able to. Some of her children were offered land in OK but no one took the offer. You would think that there would be some kind of information on her.
Ah :0)
Thanks for the ping hope you had a good time yesterday
Mama..mulatto means: Mulattos, people mixed with European and African. You might be looking in the wrong place.
“His Dad - Scot & probably English (she was a Hatfield)”
This just caught my eye as I was going back through the thread.
I was born a Hatfield!
Happy "day after," folks ..I could barely move today, I ate so much of so many good things. We played Pictionary after dinner .. it was a blast.
I'll bet there are some serious wedding plans being discussed at Camp David this weekend. Wonder where and when it will be.

I'll NEVER forget those trips he made to show the troops how important they are to him and his relentless honor and respect for them. God bless and protect Pres. Bush and our awesome troops.
