M.E., In re (2022) C094587 C094587; filed 5/25/22. ![[Files/CaseFiles/C094587.PDF]] [Opinion PDF](https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/C094587.PDF) ## Rule excerpts Further inquiry under Welfare and Institutions Code section 224.2; quoting In re T.G. (2020) 58 Cal.App.5th 275, 295. > But parents may not always have that extensive biographical data, or even substantial information about their Indian ancestry. “General information from the family about its ancestry frequently provides the only available basis to believe an Indian child may be involved. (Cf. In re A.M. [(2020)] 47 Cal.App.5th [303,] 322.) Additional investigation may not develop further information establishing the need for ICWA notice, but it is essential to the enforcement of the court’s and child protective agency’s ‘affirmative and continuing duty to inquire’ to construe broadly the duty to make further inquiry. (§ 224.2, subd. (a).)” (In re T.G., supra, 58 Cal.App.5th at p. 295.) — M.E., In re (2022) C094587, slip op., p. 11.
