Joseph L. Allison

[vicky]

Does anyone know of any living Allison family members, Native American, located in Ill?
Seeking Joseph L. Allison who would be in his 80s or older, if he is still alive. He was located in Ill. c. 1950.
Thanks!

My father was Joseph Leverne Allison, who was in Chicago around 1950. He told me that we have a Native American background, which I believe he characterized as Sioux, but I have never confirmed this. He was born on September 14, 1928, in Sturgis, SD.

Welcome to our website.
Will see what we can find.

The only record i could find was WWII Enlistment Record for him. he enlisted at Ft.leavonworth,KS on 16 Feb. 1946 in Regulqr Army for Hawaiian Department as a private.
No record of any Allisons in Ancestry Indian Census Schedules.
Do you have an obituary for him? that may give you some clues on his family.
____________
Update:
The above may not be your Joseph Laverne Allison. Ancestry listed only Joseph L. Allison for the above record.
there was a Joseph L. Allison born Ft. Scott, KS

question: Is your father still alive? What about your mother?
Can you give more information, like did your father have any siblings, if so what were their names?

aj: it is possible that the Indian ancestry may be on your father's father's side, but haven't been able to find anything about him(grandfather), other than the marriage record, and that he died in 1966.

Herman,

Thank you so much for the information, it is truly appreciated. I apologize for the delay in responding. My mom passed shortly after posting this, and I've been busy dealing with that and her estate.

Best regards,

Mike Allison
