[QUOTE="Star*, post: 417230, member: 4964"] I had a third cousin twice removed on my Father's side email me and ask for our family picture. Which I thought was pretty cool. Here was a weird story - since DF is from ND. Cousin says in conversation she was trying to find GGGpa in a place called (English) White Earth, N.D. In Sioux it's something I can't pronounce, but interestingly enough when I said it? DF knew EXACTLY where it was - only miles from his old homestead and sawmill in ND. It isn't on any map because it's basically a native burial ground or something. This was a 'key' to a part of something she needed to tie another part of the tree together on Dads side of the family as Blackfoot Indians kept very poor records but there apparently was something to do with the Sioux Nation and that was it! Had I not met DF, we never would have put this piece together. It was just weird to us. My Moms side of the family is so vast and scattered? I woudn't even begin to know how....my Gma had 13 brothers and sisters living. [/QUOTE]
