I have recently been in contact with Barbara Louise Harmon who found these photo's of Eagle Woman (from the Book "Once Their Home") and one of Zoe Lulu (Charles F. Picotte's half sister). She goes on to state, ""Once Their Home" by Holley (it's out of print and $200 if you can find a copy. My dad has a copy but he has it locked up!) - and Holley interviewed Eagle Woman/Matilda. Eagle Woman and her daughter Zoe Lulu who married William Harmon and had a son name Joseph Richard Harmon who had a son name Leo Richard Harmon - who is my father. (Thus my connection to all this)" I am sharing for all who are interested. I hope to meet Barbara during the holidays as she lives in Alaska and will be visiting LA.

Hermin1, Earthw7, and DawnDay,
Thanks for the compliments but the kudos goes to Barbara. Do any of those books you have found at libraries have a publishing date? Because she said it was out of print and if it is old enough, perhaps it might be on Google's digital book site. Worth a search.
Earthw7, I thought you would get a kick out this, knowing all the fine research you have done .
DawnDay, I don't know about Sandy Harmon being on Oyate.
It was my pleasure to share with you.
Lavanah

Hermin,
I am related to Honore Picotte, so when he left Matilda in the hands of Mr. Galpin, his trusted employee, my blood line stopped there. So, I am not related to the Galpin/Harmon branch although I do have it on my tree as an extension of Honore Picotte's life.

You would be related to Louisa Picotte DeGrey Van Solen who was Matlida's oldest daughter she was the first school teacher on Standing rock and Her daughter Lucille Van Solen was the first school teacher in the Cannon Ball area. Solen North Dakota is named after them

Earthw7,
Thanks so much for that information because it seems I have her on my tree but no records.

Hello everyone, I am not tying to cause trouble, but i would love to have a Dna test, I want to tell all of you that my Mother was a Gilpin from So Ohio, My Grandmother told me this story when I was in High School, before that, she had told her daughters and son, the story, that we are decendants of Matilda Waldron, and all my research, I have just recently found this. I am 64 years old, and when I was younger I look like Zoe lulu! Is there a Dna site, where I could get my Dna done for this family?

clay: first go to Mike Denney's web site and see what I have posted on the family of John C. Waldron who was ahero during WWII. mdenney.proboards58.com/index.cgi?here is link to the Family chart. Just click on it to download it and you can print it out: i615.photobucket.com/albums/tt240/kouklamu/johncwaldronfamchart1.jpgIt is costly to have DNA done. You need to get the consent of one of the Waldon descendents,preferably the oldest living one , to have a sample of his blood tested along with a sample of your blood.

Zoe Lulu Picotte Harmon is not in any way related to the Waldrons.
Her father was Honore Picotte (a French Canadian). Her mother was Wambdi Autepewin/Eagle Woman That All Look At/Matilda Picotte Galpin. Charles Galpin was Matilda Picotte's 2nd husband and only a step father to Zoe Lulu, so there is no Galpin blood there.
I am Zoe Lulu's great grand daughter. I have 4 living brothers who you might be able to talk into doing the DNA test if you are willing to pay (I think it's > $300?), but again, I assure you - there really is no blood relation between the Galpins and Zoe Lulu.
