Helllol -
keely, keep on going to "Bent" Twigg.
His daughter Bertha was my grandmother,
not great grandmother.
I suppose I will be hearing from you about my African American ancestry next, since it seems to me there is little way he could have passed as "white" on the census forms.
The situation then was such:
if you could pass as white on census forms, you did it.
Ben, the reason why the Loyal Shawnee received that name from the colonists was because they did not join with Tecumseh. For this they received "reservations" which were then taken from them and they were sent to Kansas, and from there to the Cherokee's lands.
I heard that you visited with Jack Blosser when you went to DC with Governor George's son. I fully support his effort's to bring about unity among the surviving Shawnee.
My view, based on direct observation, is that people of mixed ancestry provide the base on which the cons first set up their operations.
As time progresses, every nation will face this problem. That is, they will face this problem unless they set up ancestry organizations first so that these conmen will not be able to operate.
The comment "May your greaat grandchildren cause you problems" was a JOKE, my way of referring to this. It was not meant as a curse, and I very much hope that they does not happen.
Since I have had people imitate me on the internet, I am very interested in learning exactly where "I" said the Andaste had red hair, or that they transported copper to Africa.
