I have just started. I am hitting lots of brick walls. I know that my Blackshire had 3 children for sure that were delivered by a mid-wife all in LA. Time frame is 1890-1896 to the best of my knowledge. The only one I am for sure on is 1890. I was told by one of the grandchild they thought that my Annie might have some Indian in her but able to prove it. Any help would be appreciated. My mom is helping me since I am only 12 yrs and I am doing this for a history project due in Sept. I am homeschooled and this was the summer project I chose.
