I had even forgotten that I was part of this list. I originally joined when searching my husband's NA lines... but recently I found I had NA blood too. Through my father. We had always assumed his lines were all German till this past year when a DNA test showed he had a small percentage. My first test through Ancestry never showed that on me. But I recently did another test through 23nMe and it was found then. So this will be fun to see where I end up on both lines.

Have you had occasion to browse the web site for the Downstate Delaware Genealogical Society at _www.downstatedegenealogists.org_ (http://www.downstatedegenealogists.org/) ? If not, you will find it is presenting a conference on DNA and ITS LINK TO FAMILY HISTORY on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2010, at the Hilton Garden Inn Dover, 1706 N. DuPont Highway, Dover, Delaware, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The speakers will be: · Thomas H. Shawker, M.D., a physician at the National Institute of Health and serves as the chairman of the National Genealogical Society Committee on Genetic Genealogy. He is the author of Unlocking Your Genetic History and is a past president of the Prince George’s County Genealogical Society. · Mark J. Wadhams, MS, Quality Manager at the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL), Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. He has worked in the field of forensics for over 20 years. He has been involved with the identification of skeletal remains of numerous military service members as well as Tsar Nicholas II. He has presented at numerous national and international conferences and has published papers in the field of forensics. Dr. Shawker will have two presentations: (1) DNA Testing: The Very, Very Basics – This presentation explains the principles behind Y chromosome and Mitochondrial DNA tests for genealogy, how to interpret the results, and how those results can be used for genealogy. Topics include what specific test to order, how to verify relationships between individuals with the same surname, and help verify that elusive female ancestor. This presentation is designed to address the needs of the very beginner in DNA technology. (2) Race, Ethnicity, and Ancestry: Genetic Genealogy & DNA Testing – Do I have Native American or Jewish ancestry? Where in Africa do I come from? These are some of the questions that family historians can research using DNA tests, including Y chromosome, mtDNA, and autosomal markers. This lecture will discuss the value of these tests, how to apply them and how to interpret the results. Mr. Wadhams will have a presentation on The Genealogical/Scientific Role Family Members Play in the Identification of Missing Service Members from Military Conflicts: Unknowns Never Again - a presentation on the identification of the Vietnam Unknown. This presentation will also include what the AFDIL does in accounting for current-day losses, as well as those service members missing from prior conflicts in Vietnam, Korea, World War II, World War I, and even the Civil War, along with the challenges of working with genealogists in finding family members from whom it can get DNA references.

I have done a lot of research on who was where when.The area Indians were inter-mingling quite a lot.The Cherokee and the Lenni-Lenapa, the Shawnee, all the various tribes were Algonquin. They all spoke the same language-Algonquian. History does not tell us that, all the Eastern Seaboard and woodland tribes were part of a Nation,,,,The Algonquin Nation.But if you keep your ears and eyes open while you research, you will soon catch on. And the area was not limited to the Eastern Seaboard, it extended to the Great Lakes and sometimes beyond. For example; Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, but she was also the daughter of a Cherokee woman.They lived in both Old Accomack and in the middle of Virginia, up and down the rivers and along any waterways. In matriarchal societies, as Indians were, children and the homes belonged to the mother, and the mother's clan. Grandparents usually raised the children. At Puberty, boys went to study under an Uncle.(That may have to do with the suspected Hebrew connection, as in the Lost tribes of Israel.) Most tribes were basically towns and villages.Not tribes. Despite what you may have been told, they did have homes and gardens in villages and towns. They were here for 13,000 years. America has only been here for four hundred years. American history has distorted Indian history.And as towns and villages were destroyed, the natives ran to their neighbors for assistance and protection.For a while the Cherokee were made up of FIVE "tribes".My Lene-Lenapa relatives from Delaware and Accomack joined the Cherokee in North Carolina before the Trail of Tears.Some went to Canada, and some went to Ohio.My grandfather was born a Gordonsville, VA and ended in Montana and Washington. If you really plan on researching Native relatives, you need to immerse yourself in Native written history and genealogy.And that is an art in its self. And extremely rewarding. Most Natives did not register themselves with written English records such as land ownership, births, deaths and marriages.Or census's.All that stuff was for tax purposes and the draft. But my intention is not to mislead you. The Cherokee have records, ( oral tradition, until Sequoia designed a written language which the people easily learned,and it was all carefully recorded.

I'm from the Pocomoke Forest area and I've found that there is a lot of splintered information on Indians from the eastern shore. One of the best centralized sources is the Nabb Research Center at Salisbury University. Becky Miller is very helpful and can help steer you in the right direction. One of the best books I've located is the Eastern Shore Indians of Maryland and Virginia, by Helen Rountree and Thomas Davidson. Well worth the money and time for native people from the shore. I finally understood why some of my family was covert about our Indian ancestry. They were trying to survive. Indian ancestry is a source of pride for my generation; it was the basis for discrimination and harrassment for our parents and grandparents. Otherwise, start documenting everything you were told. If possible interview older family members with a tape recorder. In five years you'll be trying to remember what they said. Get a digital camera or scanner and copy the older pictures you have with other family members. Some of the old pictures deteriorate and saving them to disc is critical. When I lightened some of the old family pics I saw several rings, shells in the hair, plants that were in the lap. All were indistinquishable in the older darker photo. There are several Indian groups on the eastern shore. I'll email a few links later. They may be helpful if you are just starting your research. Let me know if any of your family links or married into people from the Pocomoke Forest area, Pusey, Townsend, Butler, Fooks, Causey, Dukes, Maddux, Evans, etc. I have a lot of information and don't mind sharing via computer, as long as you consider mine a work in progress. It will be my life's work and I will probably never finish researching.

Thanks for asking. I haven't had alot of time to do much lately (for about a year it seems). I may be waiting until I retire to really get back into it.? I do have Sarah and Joseph Mason in the census in 1840 & 1850 Ohio. I have found a couple Joseph Masons pre 1830 in Virginia that I believe to be my great/great/great grandparents. The Conners (my great/great grandparents) James Conner (who is also?supposedly Native American) married Jane Mason is just a ghost as are his children form his first marriage.? It is really hard to believe that you can have 22 kids between the 2 of them and only account for a handful. They didn't want to be found! Thanks again for asking.

I wouldlike to know how I might get started looking into the tribes in the Delaware/Maryland area. My grandparents were Native American but I have been unable to find any information on them. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Fran Martin

Found a couple of online references, but nothing more about the Chief.? You may have seen these already -- http://www.getnj.com/historicroadsides/camden.shtml http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070201/SPECIAL23/106290059/-1/special23 -----Original Message----- From: Sandy Levins <sandylevins@earthlink.net> To: NATIVEAMERICAN-DELMARVA@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 6:38 am Subject: [NATIVEAMERICAN-DELMARVA] Chief Tolacca? In researching the history of Camden, NJ, I came across the following: "Taking title to 300 acres of ground from Indian Tribal Chief Tolacca in September 1677 at the future site of Camden, William [Cooper] built his home on a high bank above Cooper's Point and named it Pyne Poynt, from a dense pine forest which grew there." Can anyone provide information on Chief Tolacca and confirm his presence along the Delaware River around 1677, or point me in the right direction so that I can learn more about him? Thank you very much.

Dear Boyd, I normally don't respond to this board but I wanted to offer this. I recall Shockleys living in Berlin, Worcester County, MD. As far as the Native American issue is concerned, my mom's family from the Worcester County, MD/Sussex County, DE area always held fast to the idea that they were part Native, evidenced by photos of ancestors born early as 1815. They were always listed as "free colored" or mulatto" in the census. To end the speculation, DNA testing was done and we learned that we were instead Eastern Mediterranean. To make a long story short, this specific group/tribe of Eastern Mediterraneans has a known history of denying their ethnicity & religion, purposely assimilating themselves into the dominating culture. With that said, I believe my mother's people cannot be the only ones on the Delmarva of that ethnicity believing they are Native. If you wish to discuss it further, please email me directly. Good luck with your research. Kim

I have a very little bit. My mother's maiden name was Lena Bell Shockley Pusey. Her mother was Sarah Elizabeth Fooks Shockley and her father was John Merrill Shockley. The Fooks family is reported to have Indian blood. I only say this because some of the families inter-married for several generations. Our Shockley family married Fooks and Causey for several generations. Delsie Fooks, who was a cousin of Sarah Elizabeth, taught school in Worcester and Somerset County one-room schools and professed her Indian blood. However, the Indian link isn't stated anywhere. I have lots of Indian blood through my Pusey family, but the Shockley line is less clear. Matrilineal lines were frequently lost, especially those from mixed or Indian women. I have lots of information on the Pusey-Indian connection that were from the Pocomoke Forest area which was in Somerset County in the early 1800's. I would appreciate any information that you find about the Shockley family from Somerset or Worcester County having Indian blood.
