I need some help. My ggrandfather Scott Preston Squyres has always made it publicly known that he is part Indian. He died many years before I was born and I don't have many relatives on my dad's side since my great grandfather only had one child and my dad only had 2 children and 1 aunt had 1 child... not a big family at all. Anyway, this is really hard to find a starting point. I have recently been trying to find out about his family line and my aunt has said that she found that we are related to Tecumseh. My great grandfather said that he was 1/16 Cherokee but my aunt found that it isn't Cherokee but Shawnee and we are related to Tecumseh. I've spoken with some distant Squyres who have done a lot of research and get info from all the Squyres they have come in contact with over the years and have written a couple books. I was wondering if you could help me with names and somehow meet in the middle? My ggrandfather looks very much Indian. He had black eyes, well defined black brows and straight black hair. I can send you pictures of myself, my dad, and my ggrandfather if that would help in finding family resemblences. Thank you Andrea Grotta Also, I was reading through all your posts and I found this about George Alford. Alfords married into the Squyres family.
