Joseph Bernard or Faw Faw is my great-great-great grandfather. My maiden name is Faw Faw. I have been researching our family history since the early nineties and had heard from relatives about Faw Faw Ferry and that our name by right should have been Bernard. My grandfather Louis Morgan Faw Faw had said that he did not know why our name was Faw Faw. The main things that I have been trying to find out is when was he born, how did he come about to be with the Otoe, what if any Fur Company did he work for and how old was he at the time of his death? I don't know if you can answer any of these questions or find answers but I surely appreciate all the information you have so graciously provided. Thank You So Much, Tammy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
