So My great great grandmother was Native American, & of course for YEARS I thought it was Blackfoot [View all]

and it turns out, my laid back father just made that up. At this stage, everyone has passed that would know which tribe.

All I know is that it was based out of Annapolis Maryland, may have started with an "N" sound, but my dearly departed great aunt's recollection is that it was something like "Gn" but had an "N' sound. There was a picture of my father as a child, in fifties jeans and penny loafers and a white tee, about 11 or 12, sitting that the foot of this woman, with a grand head dress on. I remember thinking it was beautiful, and I knew that was my grandmother's grandmother, but my grandmother died when my father was a child, so I never *really* had an association.

Where do I start?
