My grandfather Cleveland Williams (born 1895), was a child of Grover Cleveland Ryman, and Susie (unknown) of Virginia. I don't know exactly the location in Virginia.
My Grnadfather Cleveland Williams was the child of an Indian man and White woman, so her family ran off Clevelands father, and adopted my grandfather off to a black couple, Bird Williams and Mary Williams from Alabama.
We are unable to find either set of parents, or his birth record.
Does anyone have any clues as how to search for this information.
