info I have. It isn’t much, more a shot in the dark. In the
sixties this family only claimed the father’s (Kathleen’s husband)
Irish history. With the ‘new’ attitude toward Native
Americans, the inside the home stories are leaking out. Each child has a
different twist. Here is my original post. Linage is Kathleen > son
> daughter (the child I’m trying to help) The information is from the
son(father)’s baby book.</span></font></p>

lived. What have you done to research this family? It looks like you are
saying she is 3 generations removed from Kathleen, and that would reduce her

membership.</span></font></p>

American descent. (1/2) Her<br>
granddaughter's mother (who was killed in 1984) is supposed to have some<br>
Native American history. If I can prove enough, both the granddaughter
and<br>
her brother can apply for help with their education!<br>
<br>
The granddaughter would be thrilled to have the knowledge to pass on to her<br>
descendents. She is a one in a million girl that anyone would be proud to<br>
claim. She is the daughter of my heart!!!<br>

I asked my Sister in law who is in the Cottage Grove Historical society to<br>
see if she can come up with anything. Is there any specific information you<br>
are looking for?<br>
