Legal Question


How far can Indian lineage be traced?

I am at least 1/4 Indian(Choctaw/Cherokee). My great great

grandfather was adopted and thus took on his adopted parents

name which is now my family's name. How can I trace my original family name? If so, how would I go about checking

for any compensation rights I might be entitled to(mineral,

oil or otherwise)?
