WOW!
It is so good to finally hear from a long-lost distant cousin. More thrilled to hear from his granddaughter! I never thought in a million years someone would respond to my query. I pretty much gave up after I couldn't find any leads on what happened to the family of cousin Wallace who married a Native American woman in Montana. I contacted the Cheyenne Nation office and got no reply. I was curious about the journey of Wallace Sam from Louisiana to Texas, Colorado and finally Montana.I'm sorry to hear that she passed. It would have been great to actually speak with her to learn about her life and story. You have a lot of cousins spread all over Texas, Louisiana and few other places. Your grandfather came from a large family of Louisiana Creoles. His grandfather and my great-great grandfather were brothers.
I would love to connect and share knowledge,
Rodney Sam, your long-lost distant cousin.
