Mari Simons-Swirczynski-Miller
Query: Verbally my mother said my grandfather Theodore SIMONS (SIMMS) ancestry had French- 1st nations connection, but due to serious prejudice issue native peoples faced, it was kept a secret. Mother hinted about being “black dutch”. Trying now to find my grandfather’s heritage. Oklahoma 1910 census shows he was born in Missouri, and his parents born in Tennessee. Having trouble locating his parents/names in any census. I don’t expect them to be on a native roll since they did not leave in the 1838 Removal and possibly hid. Just checking if this might be a possible starting point.
