Answer 1

In general, you'd find your grandmother on an official list, then prove through obituaries, birth certificates, death certificates and marriage license applications that you were her granddaughter.

Family lineage charts are helpful
The genealogy archive center offers the Dawes Rolls, muster roll, annuity rolls, federal census records, historical records, cemetery records, government records and family files.

I hadn't heard that "one drop" rule. If you were 127/128ths Swedish and 1/128th African, tall, blue-eyed, blond etc and applied for a scholarship from the NAACP I suspect they would reject you.

Answer 2

Try searching for Morman Geneological sites in Utah. They have extensive records.
