Bill,
🙂 O.K. Thank you. Ya’ know, I’ve only used yahoo!:) No wonder I never find anything!;) Love & light, Lynella.
BDEGNEN,
Howdy! I hope your Holidays have been sweet. I wanted to let you know, I was “Googling” today, looking for Hodges/Reeds and I found a site called: Rainwater Myths Mysteries and Mistakes. I didn’t jot down the URL, sorry about that! But with that title you should be able to find it, I would think. I’m not certain if any of it applies to you, but it would be worth a good going over. I recognized a few last names on there myself. I’m thinking I may have even seen a Ricketts there. It looked very interesting with some history and stuff.;) Love & Light, Lynella.
P.S, Happy Hunting!:)
I think I’ve seen that Rainwater website. It says (if it is the site I am thinking of) that there are no Indian Rainwater’s. But I believe it is more complicated than that.

Vance,
I didn’t look at it very close. If it does say that I would have to dissagree. “Rainwater can’t be German, Italian, Spanish!” It may be that it’s not a tribe of Indian somebody somewhere wanted it to be. Well, hopefully it may have something good somewhere on there to help us out here.:) Love & Light, Lynella.
Hello all,
I ran across this website and thought it might be useful here.

I will add my two cents here by saying that I knew a Rainwater family and one of the boys (men) had a sales job later in life, a very good one. He had his name legally changed because he was trying to hide the native american aspect. His brother, on the other hand embraced it. He kept his name. If someone ever read this and I say what he changed his name to, I could be in hot water. They said they were Cherokee and their mom was from Oklahoma but no longer living there. I have lost all contact with them by now.
