Native Americans can face difficulties when tracing their family lineage. Some records are lost or were never made. Families and whole tribes have been displaced from ancestral homes. The ancestors of others chose to leave their communities. Many native groups had the cultural practice of changing individual names at different times in life, and some native languages have been lost.
