Paul Edward Driskill AKA Qwo-Li Driskill
Diana:
Here's his great grandfather in the 1910 census. I also found him in the 1900 census with other relatives such as a stepmother and half sister. In all the census records his father was born in Missouri, but his mother's birth place changes from Virginia to just USA....strange, maybe he didn't know because she died or the census taker wrote it down wrong. As you can see we are now back to the 1860's and no Indian blood. All white including the mothers and grandmothers. Piff has informed me that he also claimed Cherokee from his mother's side so I will be posting that side of the family too.

This is a very impressive family tree. Anyone would be very proud of. I've gone as far back to 1700's. And I've found censuses for free white people and land records for the GGG grandfather Jesse Driskill. Here he is in the 1850 census.

What's up with the Chinese name? It's bad enough he steals a native identity, but why appropriate from the Chinese. Oh! And the African American blood....? He's just about covered all his bases. I'm surprised he hasn't claimed Judaism also.
