Hi, it is so nice to meet you. We did have that reunion, I had never heard of the Indian connection prior to that reunion. My pictures of Elizabeth and my Grandfather certainly does not look Indian to me, but since we cant prove otherwise, yet, we will keep digging. I had not heard of the Choctaw so we will explore all avenues before we say one way or the other.
