MONTEZ-MANTEZ I am hoping you can help direct me to the right place for me to pursue trying to find my great grandmother's roots. She was Ojibway according to a family Bible and was adopted by a couple named John and Mary Wilson in Missouri. We believe she was only half Ojibway, but we don't know for sure if it was her mother or father who was the Native American. My great grandmother's maiden name according to the Bible was Montez or Mantez (the writing is difficult to tell). She was supposedly born in Toronto Mills, Missouri in 1869, but I wonder if she may have been born in Toronto, Kansas??? Missouri doesn't seem like a likely location for an Ojibway in 1869, but I have to admit that I'm not totally familiar with Ojibway migrations. If there is some place you know of where I might get some assistance in trying to track down her heritage, I would appreciate it. I'm the family genealogist and am only interested in knowing from that aspect. thank you so much Norma McGarrey

BOOKER/ LOWER: We have heard through the grapevine that we have Native American ancestors from KS, MO and/or OK. We are not sure which branch of the family, though. Do you know of Native American links to either of the surnames Brooker or Lower? Thank you, in advance, for checking. mailto:mlcabral@gte.net 04/17/02
Julia A. Hutchison. Hi, my name is Wendy Malik. I am trying to trace my ancestor Julia A. Hutchison. She was married in Morgan Co. IL. in 1871. The family story goes that either she or her one of her parents was adopted by a white officer. Julila was born April 9, 1855. After the death of her husband she remarried. Her third marriage was to a man named A. D. Tuller March 17, 1910. I know that at the end of 1910 they were living there because her daughter was married to my g-grandfather in Coffey Co. Ks. They were living in Leroy. Thanks again for any help you can offer in being able to trace Julia Native American ancestry. They were, according to the story Cherokee. I am still trying to get my hands on the family bible to see if there is further information in it that will help me pen down an exact location of birth and who adopted whom and where. Can you offer some advise as to how I might be able to go about back tracking information on her. Thank you for any help you can offer. Wendy Malik mailto:WMalik2062@aol.com

I hope you may be able to help me find relatives. I was searching for Lawson which is my maiden name from my fathers side and when I came across this site I also found my mothers maiden name of Roney. I have found that a woman by name of Edith Pearl Roney was married to a man at the Choctaw Nation Indian Reservation. The thing that is so odd is that my grandmothers mother was part indian her first name was Gladfirery. Melissa Fishin_boxers@hotmail.com
