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 has been helping me since I was 12 yrs on this line of my paternal side of my family. I am no further along in breaking the brick wall now than I was when I was 12 and now I am 18. Please help if you have any information!! Thanks, Denise Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
