Havener (mother was Eleanor Upton & father was Dominick Havener). Are these the same Havenars you are related to? Why I'm e-mailing you is because I am trying to research my Indian heritage on the Havener side. My mom said when she was a child they went to visit our relatives on the reservation in Oklahoma but that is all she knows. She does not know what kind of Indian we are which is what I am in search of. I'm trying to find out if Benjamin Havener was a full blooded Indian and if so from what tribe etc...... I'm just getting started and was wondering if you know anything about Benjamin that might help me? I spent several hours last night on the rootsweb.com site which is now leading me to you. I am so grateful for whatever help you can send my way. Have a wonderful day and I hope that I hear from you soon. I currently live near Chicago, IL and am originally from Decatur, IL.
