I'm Michelle, Christina's sister. I'm also looking into the family line. If you find anything on that Cherokee wife, I'd really be interested. With a little help, I think I've traced the Castle name back to 1590 Germany. Not sure if that matches with yours or not, but I'd love to compare. The changes in the spelling threw me a little at first. (Castle - Cassel - Kasel) I've also looked into Granny Castle's line (Dooley), but that only goes back to about 1847 with Compton and Edwards. To go along with this, I'm also looking into my husband's line (Rodgers & Frederick). We recently moved from Jacksonville to Oklahoma, and his family is supposed to have Indian ancestry also. I'd love to be able to see all of this in one spot, so I'm trying to put as much info together as possible. What books do you have on the Castle family? Are they available somewhere, or are they books your dad put together. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Michelle (Mike's oldest daughter) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
