Are you an American Indian?

Tweet

I have always known I had Indian in me, But there has always been alot of questions just how much? My grandmother was raised on a Reservation and we had always been told that here mother was full blooded indian. We had been told that here name was Morning Star Folsom or Dumus. No one seem to know. As kids I remember that we would get invitations to the Indian Pow Wows. My Mother never took us to one. But I became intrested in finding out more. During my research, I found that Morning Star was my 4th Great Grandmother. But still Don't know if she was Cherokee or Choctaw. I was told she her husband(My 4th G. Grandfather) was named Ebinezer Moore. My Mother never knew until I fould it that she was named after her G.G. Grandmother, Her Name was American Jane. And my Mother was given American as her middle name. She had never even heard of this grandmother. We really don't know how much truth was told to us about out family hareitage. I do know my G.G.Grandmother was married to John Quaid. And that she was suppose to be half indian but he was white. It is so unbeleiveable of all the things you can find out when you start suarching into you family haritage. But boy it is heard. Every way I have tried to search I still can't find the truth. But where I did alway think that they were from Ok. I did find out that My family was moved to OK from Mississippi. But there are still quite a bit of questions concering Morning Star. I have fould a Morning Star Moore that was Married to a Nathanel Moore for that area. And she use to be a Dumas. So many questions and so lost on how to fill out my tree. But it is like a puzzle. I just don't know if I can do it... Has anyone else living this kind of puzzle?? If so, I would love to get some tips on how to research all of this
