I started with a birth mothers nickname and spend about 7 years on the damnest trip of my life, taking someone 40 with no known family and finding her a sister and three brothers and a Mom. Yes, we found her. she is 78 years old and was in an old rooming house in Houston, She now has a family again. I go to the Rosebud Reservation each year and bring a trailer load of clothes. I have met over 200 of her kin and traced her family back 9 genarations on one side and 6 on the other. I have been made a member of the Yellow Cloud- Provincial family.The work I do pays nothing. In fact it has cost quite a bit. I have marked the graves of her grandfather and grand mother and found the graves of her Great Grand parents. I have also found the graves of over 40 more family members. I have tons of Stuff on the Oyate Research center under family trees- Yellow Cloud. Feel free to check it out. My sons are kin to the Yellow Clouds,Arconges.Eagle hawks, Lodge Skins, Roubideaux's, Brodeaux's, Ghost Lodges,Red Thunder, Schmidts, Gulliksons, First hawks and many more Sioux familys. Over the holidays i was able to locate and talk to the last two missing links in our family puzzle. I send two people in their 80's pictures of their mom and sister plus many other of the family that they had never seen and lots they had never heard of. They were adopted at birth.I helped a girl 39 meet an aunt she had never met. what a great life I lead. Ray
