Michael Birk(Burke, Burk) daughter Rachel
I am trying find the Indian Hertiage of my father's mother side of the family.
Back in the 1800's a Henry Birch Hewlett married Rachel Birk(Burk, Burke) (we're not for sure of the correct spelling) Rachel's father's name was Michael Birk (Burke,Burk).We were told that Rachel had full blooded Indian in her. (sorry if that isn't the proper way to say it) But what we are trying to find out is was both of her parents Indians, and if so what tribe they were from?Or if maybe her mother (which we haven't been able to locate her name) was or if her father was Indian.I am sorry this is so confussing but it has been a long time just getting this much information.If there is anyone who might have some information I would appreicate it.
Henry B. and Rachel and Michael Birk(Burke, Burk) all buried in the Hewlett Family Gravesite in West Virginia.
