    1. Re: looking for any DUNN's that are INDIAN decent.
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hlT.2ACEB/2691.1.3.1.3 Message Board Post: You know there are a lot of us Dunn's in Texas and New Mexico. Also Oklahoma. My mother was Half indian, and I believe my Grand father Thomas Dunn was also. He lived in Lamar Oklahoma and died there.I was very small then. I remember my grandmother married to him was German. My grand mother on my mothers side was full indian. She married George. Mac Millian. They both died in LivingstonTexas.Not sure if they were part of the Aalabama Coushata tribe there or not. My brother Edward Leon always said we were part Native American but registration states white. There was a lot of discrimination back when I was a young fella in Oklahoma and Texas against us always being called half breeds. We all claimed to be white, my mom got the worst of it because she was dark and had raven black hair. dad was light skinned and blue eyes. Most of us got green eyes and light brown hair.So it was easy to pass as full white.
