I would love to correspond with anyone that has information on, or a family connection to Robert Lyle Grey Cloud. He was originally from the Sisseton area and placed into foster care in Britton, South Dakota in the 1950's along with a younger brother. I think that his parents may have been Florence Sanderson married on 24 Nov 1933 in Roberts County SD to Leo Grey Cloud. I have no personal connection to this person. In a series of "coincidences" the story of this man was placed into my life. I believe that the crime that he was convicted of in 1953 when he had just turned 18 was framed. Little to no evidence and he was sentenced to Life. I don't know if he is even still alive but there needs to be justice and accountability. If anyone could or would assist me, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

the problem here is that the uS censuses only go to 1930. the Indian Censues at ancestry.com are for the years 1885 to 1940.
if you have access to a library in your town or city, they may have free on-line access to ancestry.com. if you have a Family History Center, they also provide free access to ancestry.com so that you can access the Indian Censuses, and marriage, and Soc. sec. Death Index records to see if robert Lyle Grey cloud is still alive.
Adoption records are usually closed so you won't be able to find anything on the two sons of Leo GreyCloud. do you have anything like newspaper clippings of the young man's trial?
i can assume that his natural parents are dead. ancestry.com can give you the information on death Dates and where they died. then type the name of last place or residenc e in to google along with the word Newspapers. this should alow you to check out the local newspapers and hus find their obituaries, which will tellyou bout their family histories.
