Set:


Census : US 1880


Given name: John (or Mary)

State: Blank or filled in, as you choose. Dakota territory is full of Indians. Massachusetts isn't.





Press ENTER.


You will get real NA's alive in 1880. Many of them have English or Spanish surnames. Some don't.





The search engine won't work with both given and family names blank.

Surnames were not a custom in many Indian tribes.
Reply:why dont you go to their home page, most native american communities have one, and check out the names of the important people within those communities
Reply:I lived plus my fam originates in Cherokee heritage. Redhouse is a good last name. Neshoba. I knew someone with da name Chikaway or sumthin like dat but overall everyone I knew pretty much had regular last names like myself which is Moore and my Great Granny was last named Batts and was full blooded Choctaw Indian. So good luck on dat.
Reply:do a google on this, "Native American Tribal family names." My ancestor's were from a town called Strucca, in upper Wayne County, PA. Our last name was derived from the tribal name. Silichow. ( sill i cow) the name was Americanized to Sillick.
