Youngblood might sound like an Indian or Gypsy name to you but do you really have any idea what names might be Gypsy or Indian in that area? As for the black-haired babies who grow up with a different color that would seem to indicate they were not Indian as an Indian's hair color did not change with age except to perhaps gray. As has been already recommended, research needs to be done with an open mind. Celia "Celia Mitschelen" <cmitsch@ix.netcom.com>
