Is this still an active site? We grew up with my mother and grandmother talking often of their Native American ancestors and have “embraced” that without having any real knowledge. We want to join the current pipeline protests and decided to find out more–here’s what I have so far: my maternal grandfather is BLISS MOODY ALTIZER; his father was JAMES BLISS ALTIZER; son of SARAH JANE CHRISTIAN (9 Jul 1859 born, died 9 Dec 1935 in Tazewell VA); SARAH’s father was GEORGE WYNEPUECHISKA Dos Christian (1835-1914) and her mother was Sarah Jane Sallie “Wingo” (1841-1918). (Maiden Spring and Indian Creek VA?). Looks like Wynepuechiska’s parents were Nathaniel Christian and Jane Ewing.
Nathaniel’s father was Thomas “Cornstalk”
Siblings were: Shequamur, Moses Wisiko “Sharp Shooter” Waaakoce’thi, Mathchquath, Tecumapese Christian
Can someone help in identifying our Tribe? (Shawnee? Cherokee? Creek?) and what is my next step to connect to these ancestors, relatives, Tribe?
Thank you so much,
