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)?
