Gabrielino Population. Kroeber (1925) estimates 5,000 Gabrielino, Fernandeno, and Nicoleno in 1770; they are now practically extinct.
My ancestors were all Gabrielino or should have been registered as Gabrielino but we're actually register Diegueno, not even sure what tribe. And then to top that off my father blood decree on record shows less than he is. Just discovered my mother has more Native American that stems from her grandparents that came from Mexico, settled in Azusa, where they died from the influenza in 1918 when my grandmother was only 2 yrs old. So to read that the Gabrielino Indian in nearly extinct really isn't true cuz just my family alone, I have 10 siblings and a humungous extended that has lived in this San Gabriel Valley for over 100 years and continue to live here. My father was baptized in San Gabriel Mission Church. I would love to get this all corrected and do have roll numbers to work with less the struggle i have obtaining my mother ancestry and wondered if it was even possible to somehow get it corrected? Im aware that the Ancestry DNA test r not accepted proof but what i do know is that I thought I was the last of the blood line but having the DNA testing done, I discovered I am 40% Native American! My father is 44% and mother 34%! So while in the process of researching my pedigree, I just wondered how possible it would be to registered as Gabrielino?
