Hi
My name is Jennifer and I am looking to
find out more information for my daughter.
She connected with her biological father
last year and as they got to know each
other better he had told her that she had
some native american in her. He thought
they had came from the Blackfoot tribe. I
am wondering if you might be able to help
me or point me in a direction so I can find
out how to verify if she does or does not
have Native American in her. She is very
interested in finding out more about this
whole other side of her family.
I do know a few names and have did some
research on Ancestry.com but it does not
list if they were Native American or not.
Her father and I were very young when we
got pregnant. He was 14 and I was 15. With
being this young it was to much for him to
handle and as most young fathers he
“bailed”. He found her last year on
Facebook and that is how they started
getting to know each other. She is very
intested in knowing more about that side of
her familly but alot of them are deceased.
I found many records on ancestry.com but am
not sure if they are the right people or
not. I have never did any type of reasearch
like this before so I don’t really know
where to start.
I had came across your website along with a
few others and thought I would go ahead and
email you to see if you might be able to
help us. I have visited the bia.gov site
but I can’t find any contact information
for the Blackfoot tribe. I know that her
grandfather lives in Hooker OK and was born
and raised in Blackwell OK. I do know some
names that her grandmother gave me that she
could remember. They were not married very
long. This has became very important to my
daughter and she wants to find out if there
is a way to possibly connect with others
that had ancestors that belonged to this
tribe so she might be able to learn more
about the culture. But there are so many
sites out there and I want to make sure I
getting the right information. So any
information you can provide me with would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
