>>Oh Jesus, not another one<<

Hi Condor - on the National Archives website for the Carlisle Indian School you can see my great-grandmother's name, Emmeline King, Chippewa.

I've got photocopies of the documentation that she was, in fact, my great-grandmother, e.g., a letter she sent to the staff talking about her husband, my great-grandfather, by name, and her children, including my grandmother.

And, oddly enough, her father was Canadian.

I am not, as far as I know, related to anybody famous, but I did have several ancestors who served in the American Revolution. On the winning side, of course.;^)

P.S. I don't mind people knowing the name of my real great-grandmother because I keep hoping to meet up with people descended from her siblings.
