Who is Mary Ann Brazin or Brozin?

I am looking for info on my great grandmother, maiden name,  Mary Ann Brazin or Brozin. I was told that she was a full blooded Native American. She was born in the Christian or Todd County Kentucky area. Choctaw tribe is what I was told. She died in 1926 in Montgomery County Tennessee of a complications of polycystic kidneys. I’m looking for info on her and her family because of the PKD. The disease is hereditary and has now gone into the 5th generation. Any info is appreciated. She was born in 1893 and was married to John William Gibbs of Stewart and Montgomery Tn.

thank you,

Surname help! *Ruanpiliar*

I’ve searched the web for this surname, and nothing comes up. I know “rua” is road, “ruan” is red, soldier, or street dweller, and “piliar” is like “pilier” which means piller.

My great-great grandmother, named Susan, was born in Germany, and apparently had this maiden name: Ruanpiliar.

Can you help me find others with this name?

What is my American Indian Heritage?

My name is James Constable I have recently found out that my lineage on my mothers side is American Indian.

All I know about my ancestor is that his name was Richard or Robert Moore (I’m not sure Richard or Robert), he jumped ship from America to Australia sometime in the 1800’s apparently he was from Death Valley California. He invented something in cameras that is still in use today and had something to do with the early days of Caritas (St Vincents De Paul). What I do not know know is what tribe he was from what age and where he died and about his children.

How do I break through the 1850 census?

I have researched my family tree back 3 generations so far,for instance I know my grandfather’s father was George H. Moore, his father was George W.Moore,and now I am stuck because I found George W. Moore’s father was Hianas Morre in the 1850 census for Great Salt Lake,Utah Territory 1850 Census. His wife was Mahala,but it said he was born on the Atlantic Ocean.

Can you help me find out who my dad is?

Unfortunately I do not have much info. on who my father is. My name is Kevin Foltz and I am 44 years old. From what I understand my father does not know that I exist. My mothers recollections are very vague and so far I have had no success in finding anybody who are willing to help me. If you are interested please write me back for more information. I sure would appreciate any advice you could give. Thank you, Kevin
