So I am new at this. I am at one of the deadest ends a person can come to! I can not
even get in touch with any of the living relatives on my Dad's side to answer a few
questions for this! I can't even get them on the phone long enough to get their
addresses to send them their Christmas cards and that past 4 days ago!!! So, contact for
my family, pretty much died with my Dad. What was left finished off when Grandma's
mind went before she passed away. So I am hoping beyond hope that this thread is still up
and going. My Grandmother was Jerald Dean Butler from Brownstown, Indiana. She was a
first cousin and grew up with John Cougar Mellencamp's mother, who's name I
don't even know. I did not even realize he was famous till a few years ago. I guess
I met him once when I was about 7 or 8 but don't remember, all I knew was that was one
of the guy's music my Dad always listened to, lol. I know that somewhere on her side
there is Blackfoot and Crow Indian, enough that I !
am like 1/8 or something like that, I am not sure exactly. But I also know somehow we
are related to Jesse James. One of Grandma's siblings traced our ancestry to find all
of this out. But I don't even positively know how many she had, let alone their
names. Once I find that out, I know they had it published somewhere, but don't know
where or what name was used. Can someone anyone, PLEASE help me???? THANK YOU SO
MUCH!!!!!
