- Chester's spouse or mother could have been Indian. His mother's picture looks possibly Indian. The Henry's almost certainly are not Indians, assuming this is the same line. --Elindstr 19:25, 16 November 2010 (MST)
- Well done, on the Henry research =). I agree. Re: proving that Chester's wife/mom are Indians, the question is "how?" I've been wondering the same thing about Mary Sarah Burnett. How do you prove someone's tribal affiliation? Are there tribal censuses? -- Jim.lindstrom 04:13, 16 November 2010 (CST)
- The census forms often asked "How long ago did you immigrate?". Some of the Henry census reports that you posted have no date for that question and I got excited because I thought that might mean they didn't immigrate. ;) I was also hoping for an Indian sounding name (eg, Running Fox), but that might be too hopeful. Ancestry has a category for Indian Records. We should be able to find an annotation as "Indian" for nationality on a census form or some kind of Indian record. --Elindstr 00:23, 17 November 2010 (MST)
