        Tracing Native ancestry in North Carolina

        "Ay, mija, good question. Start with your grandma's papers: birth certificates, church records, the old letters nobody throws away. Then we go to the archives."

          Good to know: finding a Native ancestor and being a tribal member are different things. Each tribe alone decides who its members are. If your research points to a tribe, contact that tribe's enrollment office directly.
