My Grandkids were put into foste...My name is Kathy. My Grandkids were put into foster care recently. Ages 7yrs, 6yrs. and 2yrs.,due to their mother, my daughter failing 1 ua in a year. Her attorney has told her to find out if any of the three kids are part indian. I need HELP, PLEASE. He says this would help these kids. We are heartbroken and so are the children. We get one hour a week at St. Francis for visits. St. Francis told the mother it will be a year or longer before they are back in the home. How is this better for children than leaving them in the home and monitoring the family more extensively. I know some of you are thinking this is what the mother deserves and maybe so, but the kids don't deserve it. They don't have any idea why they can't go back home with their mommy. Their the ones getting punished. kathyknox57@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585757144315790138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32409743.post-27267778901705526432010-06-05T13:38:24.183-07:002010-06-05T13:38:24.183-07:00Congratulations – I am giving you the ANCESTOR APP...Congratulations – I am giving you the ANCESTOR APPROVED AWARD!

I have records back to my great-great-great grandfather James M Colbert, but have trouble documenting the next generation. Information leads me to James Holmes Colbert & Susan James as his parents, but there were so many James' that I'm having trouble. Any suggestions?"<br /><br />Oh boy. I'm sorry I haven't responded lately. I'm just so darn busy. I don't have any suggestions off the top of my head. I would have to seriously look into this family. All of the Colbert information was shared with me by a Chisholm cousin. To start I would need to know a bit more about James before I could really give suggestions as to where to look next. I'm next deep into three projects and a couple more coming in, as well as heading back in to 10 hour work days at work. Which is why I've had no time to keep up with my blog. Certainly keep in touch. I have two other ancestors that I've been getting a lot of interest on and I'd certainly be more than happy to pull up and work on the Colbert line as well, I just need to clear my plate some.

My direct ancestor, Christopher Columbus Colbert would be a half-brother to this James Holmes. However, I'm stuck right at this connection.

Down from there, it goes to James I Colbert (4th great grandfather), then Christopher Columbus Colbert (3rd great grandfather). I haven't researched the line much that far back yet, so I don't have much to share past Christopher Colbert. It's just good to know someone with the same research interests. :)Amy Coffin, MLIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32409743.post-659239631476395542009-11-30T07:48:51.425-08:002009-11-30T07:48:51.425-08:00Amy,
Yes there are Colbert's in his line. I&#...Amy,<br /><br />Yes there are Colbert's in his line. I've not had time to verify this part of his family yet though. But supposedly Julia Ann McLish, who married William Chisholm (2nd wife), the son of Jesse Chisholm. Her mother was Ginny Colbert, her father was James Holmes Colbert born 1768 in the Chickasaw Nation (at that time would have been Mississippi area) and died in 1846 in Doaksville, Choctaw Nation, IT. It was his mother who was said to be a half blood Chickasaw. Now remember I've not done any research on the Colbert's, However the person who shared this with me did provide some source information, but i've not verified it. James' father was James Logan Colbert. He was Scottish. There was conflicting evidence as to has place of birth which was either in the Carolinas or in Scotland. If this seems to fit your family please let me know. I'd be glad to share what I have.
