    3. Dear Sue, I'm just kidding about forming an offshoot group. As for finding records to prove any illigitimate offspring: There won't be any! They were very careful to hide any Indian heritage in those years. Indians were not allowed to testify in court, and if they owned property it could be confiscated. If they could hide their heritage, they certainly did. It was very risky for them in the early 1800s. Even in this generation people in Oklahoma experience a lot of discrimination. Pat
