That happened with my husband's side as well. They just narrowed down the tribe. His grandmother didn't want to talk about it and I believe it was her mother that was traded, so the wounds are still too fresh. Slowly but surely pieces are being put together though. Also, if you go back a couple of generations, it was something people didn't talk about because of prejudice.
