I have been desperatly searching for years to find the ancestry of my Great Grandfather Bunard (Bernard) Boyer. His daughters( my Grandmothers) birth certificate simply has him listed as mixed-indian. He was born in Minnesota in 1886.
I can get no information on my great grandmother because her records are sealed because she was illigitimate. That is what the records showed when I went to the county recorders office.
My Grandmother, (his Daughter) died before I was a teen, and able to learn any information from her.
My Mother did not pay attention, and does not even remember his Indian name.
I know there are a lot of peole in the government who try to keep Indian people from finding their ancestry. So I am at a loss of where to look.
My Grandmother and her brother and sisters were taken away from my Grandfather upon the death of his wife. It took a long time to get them all back together. Now I feel like I,m letting them all down by not being able to close the circle.
