We were told that a grandmother way back was an "indian". Maybe it was the grandfather instead. Even though census info says he came from Wales? The curious thing in the WWI record is that the box "negro" is checked, but then beside it the box for "dark brown" or "dark" is checked rather than "black". I don't have it in front of me, but something like that. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
