My grandfather was from the Irroquois nation. I have, for years, been trying to find my heritage with the little amount of information I have received from my family. They have all passed on and I am unable to receive anything new from any one. I have an early photo of my great grandmother on the day she left the reservation and she is in typical garb with a horse hair blanket on. My grandfather is also (faintly) in the photo as a child and had a mohawk haircut. My great grandmother was Mary Brown and my great grandfather was named Fred Brown. I don't know why but my grandfater, son of Mary and Fred was named George Custer Brown. He went by the nick name of G.C. I understand they had received 'numbers' instead of names but took names as they left the reservation. I also know that they were from New York state but am not sure what part. I would be greatfull to anyone that could help me in this matter. Anything that can be provided to help me. thank you,
