My grandfather and his sisters sure looked "Indian," high cheekbones, olive complection, black hair into old age (OK, maybe Clairol helped my great aunts...because sometimes they were blonde) and they certainly thought so, even to the point of teasing each other about it. So where did this idea come from? Were the Clouds a Trail of Tears family? I have just begun this line of inquiry after finding Caroline. Janet
