I'm a Tribal Council Member of the Wicocomico Indian Nation, a Chiefdom of
the Powhatan Empire ( confederacy) during the late 1500s and middle 1600s.
After the Empire broke up we made separate treaties with the English as the
other Chiefdoms of the Powhatan Empire did.

Recently we were placed on the Federal Register for Federal recognition.
Currently we have a well documented family lineage on Taptico and Tapp and
beginning research on Vesey and Curtis which we think are family names of
the Wicocomico.

We are also directing our research to find other Native Americans that are
descendants of the Wicocomico , Chickacone and Corotoman. These three tribes
merged in 1652-55 at the direction of the Northumberland County Council.

If you or you know of any one that has a Native American heritage and has
not been able to determine their heritage, please contact Al Byrd at


ALL INFORMATION WILL BE SECURE, NO INFORMATION WILL BE GIVEN TO ANYONE OTHER
THAN THE WICOCOMICO COUNCIL TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE A DESCENDANT OF THE
WICOCOMICO.
