Surnames: Cain Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.elliott/6641/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Can anyone give me some advice how to go about finding information on the Indian Surnames or how to research the Cains through Native American history. I am not having luck finding info on Mary thru census records and my mom said Mary was full blooded or half ?Cherokee? indian. I was thinking since i can t find her in census like that or her parents i may be looking in the wrong places. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance. Amanda
