Family history

I've been exchanging emails with my grandpa for the past few days. He's been telling me about his parents' families. It's all very interesting. Most of his family were/are in the El Campo area.

I've always thought all my family lines went to Germany by about only 1-3 generations back, but Grandpa told me that his grandmother (my great-great-grandma) on his dad's side was part American Indian! Wow! That's pretty cool. He also notes that she was a rotund woman who chewed tobacco. Ahahahaa.

An interesting factoid associated with the Indian ancestry- Grandpa has a type of glaucoma that only American Indians and Eskimos get. Hmm!
