    My wife, before she died in 1981 from murder, told me she was a direct descendent of Geronimo. I Have been sick for a long time but now I’m doing better and would like to find out about her heritage for our children & my grandchildren but I don’t know how.

      Hi Tom, Geronimo was a great Native American who lived beyond the Wild West days. He surrendered only because his braves missed their families. The Federal government broke their promise to him and shipped him off to Florida and later Oklahoma. He got involved with the Wild West show and made some money selling his autograph and personal items. He lived well past 1900. Regards, Dr. Mead
