Hi Ruthann, Thank you for your offer to help. I have tried to do this on my own but I guess I'm just way to stupid to handle the Creek language. Ok here is my problem > My gggrandfather was named Bill Davis a full blood Creek from Al. who died before Dawes enrollment so I know almost nothing about him . I would like to know if there is a Creek translation for his name if not then how would it have been written in Creek fashion. From what I could tell in reading about the Creek language it seems there would be no translation for the name but I just don't know . I do appreciate your offer of help. pmunroe@sbcglobal.net Pat Munroe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Issac Downum" <rockingd@sbcglobal.net> To: <OKMCINTO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 6:20 PM Subject: Re: [OKMCINTO] Anyone familiar with Creek Language > My name is Ruthann Downum, my husband is Issac his mom full blood creek.

Hi Pat, I am printing this off so Issac can take it with him to see Si & Lillie. If for some reason they can"t help he can take it to Muskogee to George McIntosh. His wife"s father was a preacher at Big Arber Indian Church for years. don"t quote that there is a Little Arber also. ha! get that mixed up sometimes. Will get you an answer over the weekend. I am off Tues.-Thurs. next week. Have to work this weekend, would like to join the roll call, both of our family"s come from Eufaula.Have to find information for Pat also.
