Thanks, Adrienne. I am sure somewhere down the line from 1640 there were
Indian marriages. In fact, in the Rev.War period, a Dennis Canfield (a
cousin) married a Catherine Sly and later his son (I believe) also married
her neice. But they have no direct blood to me. Hmmm. Maybe I better check
out the women around the Canfield men in that time period. Take care.

Cool!
It can be but let see what you find info. through records. Indian records
are difficult to find but hope you can with sisu(persist in Finnish). I
have
Portuguese and Finnish blood. My mother's black hair turned very
little
grey,too. Her hair has not been become grey completely for long time. She
is 67. I have several grey hairs at my early age nearly forty. Where did
it
come from? ha.
Take Good Care, Sandy.
