Jack is my maternal great-grandfather, and I had always been told he was of Native descent (Creek, I believe my grandmother said). I've never been able to figure out if this is just here-say or if there's any truth to this. As far as I can tell, he has no tribal registry or affiliation that I can find, though the surname "Barnett" seems to pop up a lot in certain registries.
Does anyone know a way to research this further, whether with Jack as the subject or one of his parents/direct relatives?
