Here's a Tip:
When searching Native American genealogy, be aware of the following guidelines:
- Learn the ancestor’s name. The name may have changed from record to record. For example someone with the name “Runs With Wolves” could get recorded as the shortened, Wolfrunner.
- Learn the ancestor’s tribe. If a possible tribe is mentioned, assume it is correct unless proven otherwise; or if no tribe is mentioned, assume your ancestor is not Native American, unless proven otherwise.
- Learn approximately when and where your ancestor lived.
- Realize that state records, such as adoption records, might not contain information about the subject’s tribe.
