Ironically, my Dad’s younger sister married a man from Oklahoma who was also Indian, and he was able to trace his ancestry back to the Trail of Tears.
And I married a Russian Jew who was able to trace HIS family to an expulsion from a little town near Kiev.
A whole family of outcasts! :-)
My mother’s side was expelled from Spain during the Inquisition and went to Naples. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition...
