Author: JanFreeman64 Surnames: Evans Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.evans/4360.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This is not my branch of the Evans family, however, I have heard of the Monacan Indians and it is not a "fake" tribe. I have included a couple of links that will tell you about this tribe, their history and their culture. As I said, this is not my branch and I don't have any idea if your branch is Cherokee or Monacan, but it is a true tribe. http://www.monacannation.com/ http://www.monacannation.com/museum.shtml http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/vaindiansmonacan.htm Hope this will be able to give you some information you need.
