I was hoping that I could get to the bottom of this but my grandfather had told me a story about how we where related to Thomas Nelson and He just pasted away Feb 16,2008 and I never got to see all the paper work that he had on the family lineage. He had something from the 100th anniversary of the signing of the declaration and I do not know where it is now.That showed that we are related to Thomas Nelson. Thank you again and good luck with your searching I know how hard it is to look up the native american side of the family. Take care Chrissy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
