Hi Kimberly, I too have the family name in my background. On the NARA Indian School Files in Chicago, Illinois lists names of students from Leelanau County, & Mt. Pleasant Indian Schools. My Grandmother married a Frank Wahboose also known as Wabasis. You could go online and look at the list. This family is new. Yes they are Native American. Wahboose means "Rabbit". My Grandmother also married James Tabasagezhick - this is my line. If you have any more questions e-mail me at pops.rods@verizon.net.

I know my Post's were here very early and "family lore" says there is Indian blood, but no one can remember where it comes from. Could be wishful thinking, who knows. > > Does anyone have information regarding this family?
