Surnames: Rogers, Runs Above Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EkDBAIB/5703 Message Board Post: My great grandfather was known to be a Sioux or Otoe indian and was adopted by a Rogers family. I don't know where he was born or when. I am guessing roughly around 1860-1900. He married my great grandmother in Missouri. Her name was Lucy Calvird. His adopted name was William Thomas Rogers and from what I'm told his Indian name was William (or Bill) Runs Above. Any information on who he was adopted by or his birth parents would be greatly appreciated.
