I know census' when available show some listings. Some general information if anyone is interested is found here: http://www.themesh.com/his21.html The history of Indian and African ancestry is usally well covered with shame and fear in most families, yet many American whites of older famlies in the country probably have mized blood. Looking forward to hearing your stories.
