Brenda,
have you looked into any of the Family Trees online? Geneology?
Asked for any help at your local library?

A ousin of mine by marriage did a family tree years ago but she wouldn't share her findings with anyone.

I found a census once for Medicine Hat that was my dad's home town. It was the 1910s and one of my great aunt's was visiting the family. They listed her as a servant.

And I have tried on line but it is difficult. My local library I don't think would be much help as we are talking back east and into the US.

I really hope that you do try and ask.
Searching for Family Trees really does transcend regions, nations, continents.
Geneology enthusiasts even get excited about venturing into other nations databases, without needing to actually visit there.
Many libraries actually do have at least one person familiar with this type of research.
If not, check if there is a local "geneology society" - which is often just other enthusiasts.
They don't need to know you or your family - once they've learned the tricks for finding info, the same tricks can be applied universally to others.

You might even try searching your cousin's name - her Family Tree might already be present on the internet somewhere.

Sacagawea was my distant aunt. I am related through one of her brothers to her.

That cousin was an in law and unfortunately I don't remember her name.

Maybe I will.

Maybe I will.

One of the entries from Clark was, while returning from the Pacific coast, they met a Shoshone tribe, and the Chief turned out to be her brother. And one of the women had also been kidnapped along with Sacagawea when they were young girls.
Was this the brother you are descended from?

That would indeed be my ancestor. My great-great grandfather.
