Continuing research on the different families are still in process, and more families are being found. There is research being done on the Skinner and Dorman side of my family, Irvin M. Skinner and Carla Iola Dorman Skinner. There have been quite a few names found on the Indian rolls even a Jane Crittendon (Isaac A. Skinner's wife). However, more research on this names have to be done to determine if these are the same people that are in our family lines. There are a lot of questions about the Indian blood in these family lines such as Allen (Wiley Monroe) DORMAN, and others on the genforums and a lot of stories. It will take time to get the research done. A lot will depend on sound family input, but I will be traveling to Washington DC to do a lot of the Indian and family research, and the research will take a lot of time.
