Welcome to our Enrollment Page!

People are always asking about researching Native American ancestors. This video is good - 10% applies to researching your Abenaki Ancestors. It never made sense to me to get certified in Native American research, Abenaki records are not found in the sources that are so helpful in other tribes to the west. Unless your family went to the Reserves in Canada, or merged into one of the recognized neighboring Tribes, you are going to focus on getting your genealogy back to the 1700's to get records that have not been white washed, or the race has not been changed arbitrarily in the records.  Basically you start with you and go back. If you hit a wall in your line from the primary records, poke around in where your ancestors lived. Is there history of Abenaki there in that time frame? Are there alternative sources of family history you can search for that place?   For the helpful areas this video does hit on, it's worth the watch.

The American  Canadian Genealogical Society is very experienced in researching  records in Quebec and New England where our Abenaki Ancestors lived.  They have many electronic source materials available to members online.  These free zoom sessions on Thursdays will help you learn what they have  and how to find your ancestors.
