  Native American Ancestry: Frank Walter's father was full blooded Mohawk and that his wife was full blooded French according to family tradition. This tradition has been disproved by research and DNA testing. [6] Birth: The Georgia, U.S., Death Index, 1919-1998 gives his death date as 18 Aug 1937. [10]
