Trying to reach sduncan43. If you lived most of your life in Valpo then you didn't live too far from cousins you didn't know you had! The Irony ! I too am a descendant of Daniel Criswell.Via Marcus L.Criswell jr. and Ella Criswell.( ancestry .com doesn't list it but they had 11 children and 9 of them grew into adulthood and there are easily now well over 200 of us..One branch lives in Valpo! I believe that Elizabeth Bolerjack was half Shawnee and if you do a bit of research into the Moravian missionaries ( Bolerjack is a moravian surname) The Moravians converted many of the shawnee to Christianity but then there was a terrible massacre...as horrific as can be imagined. Just Google the Moravian missionaries and the slaughter of the Shawnee you'll start to see why it's such a big secret to keep Native Blood hush hush. Please send me an e-mail as I'm on the free trial thingy and it wont let me send you one directly. I guess I got 14 days to connect with some distant cousins.
