I am Searching for distant family of my great great grandfather who was a Blackfeet
by the name of Ty-ree Payne (could've been revised from Ty-Hee) around the 1800's.
Information given to me by my family is very sparse..I know that due to shame of
being Indian someone didn't registered at the time the Reservations came about. If
anyone has ANY INFO, please email me!

I am looking for information about a person who was born in the Frances Crittenden
(spelling?) Home for Girls, Billings, around 1930. I know her first name, and the
full name of the birth mother, but because she was later adopted, I don't know what
her last name was. Any direction you can provide to me for this search is appreciated!

Marian Tilden Victor born 1845 in Mo or maybe Va, died 1899, married Christopher
Alonzo Settle born in Mo sometime after 1847. In 1880 Christopher and Marian's daughter
Mae Omega Mitchell Settle was born in Montana. By abt 1903 she had moved back to
Mo and married Willam Barnett. We believe Christopher and Marian are probably buried
in Montana. Possibly Marian's parents John Englebert and Lucy Jane Victor are buried
in Montana also.
