Carter/ Sweet

by 1 Comment

I would like any and all information I can find regarding Della M. Carter Sweet who married Voida Sweet. I know there is information a lot of it from the last inquiry I made but unfortunately the person who responded to my inquiry has not responded again. I really need help. I want to prove my Indian heritage. Please help!!
