where people were sent. If you know the tribe contact the tribe and ask
where there children were sent and give them the time period. The most
popular schools was Carilie in Pennsylvania. Sometimes you can find online
who attended these schools. There were others that the Bureau of Indian
Affairs used when sending these children off.

so that they could be assimilated into white society. The only problem was
that these children were neither accepted back by there tribes or by the
white man.

children would not taken from them and placed in these schools run by our
government where children were abused and mistreated. So my suggestion is to
look at various Indian Schools. If you type in on Google.com "Indian
Schools" some names will come up. Start checking them out and look to see if
they list who attended. The Morman's and Catholic Church also ran some of
these schools too. If it is the Catholic Church then you will need to try to
determine where the records are located.

> Hi Vikki,That is interesting about the indian info because I was told that
my gggrandfather John Walls was first married to an indian in Scioto Co
Ohand if that is true then the mother of my ggrandfather was indian too and
i'm told she was.I think her name was Hopi or something like that.The first
record I have of a wife for him was Sarah and I think they married about
1826 or 1829 in OhioJohn's first son was born 1819 and we think he was
married to an indian at that time Martha could be a sister to my John and
that is why I need to know who her parents were.I just wish I knew some of
the indian's remedies,They were probably better than some of this drug store
stuff today.
