4. PM me the essential info and I'll see what I can find.

Though be warned - lots of families think there are Native American roots when there are not.

If you send me the info soon, that would be good. Dec. 10 I go in for carpal tunnel surgery. I'll still be doing stuff, but with my dominant hand in a splint, typing will be slow.

I just found out that one of my ancestors was an interpreter for Gov. Winthrope of the Plymouth Colony and acted as a delegate between the English and the Indians very often. He is on colonial records in Massachusetts and Connecticut as an interpreter from 1638 to his death in 1688. Three of his sons were also interpreters! That is the second family I've found in my grandmother's line with colonial era interpreters - the other was in Pennsylvania.
