The Powhatan Tribe, Chief Powhatan and Pocahontas

This project is to help sort out all of the family members of this family line. There has been much debate as to who the real Pocahontas was, this project it to help find those answers for family members. Due to the fact that many of the family line associated with this family have nothing more then oral histories to go on, this project will take some time. I plan of working on this project with a few of my family who are not on Geni, but are members and historians of the tribes that are associated to the Powhatan tribe and their living history. If anyone would like to work on this project and associated families, please let me know. I am already working with one of the other Projects that have English families who married into this tribe. This project will take in more than just the Virginia tribes list, as many of the original tribes, over time, consolidated into the few remaining Virginia tribes that are recognized today.

I will post more information and links, as well as books that could be of help in this project next week.
