I am in desperate need of help. I am looking for any information about my gggrandma Sylvia (BLACK) Kern. I don't have any information on her family. This saddens me because all I have is a picture of her, it feels like we have no past. My gggrandmother Sylvia (Silva) BLACK b. 1855 was a Cherokee, from Attala county, Mississippi. My mom told me that she was "adopted" by a doctor. 2 Isom KERN 1843 - ? + Sylvia BLACK 1855 - ? .......... 3 Fannie Kern 1879 - 1941 .......... 3 Edgar Kern 1898 - 1898 .......... 3 Edward Kern 1898 - 1969 .......... 3 Ben Isom Kern 1880 - 1966 .......... 3 Charlie Kern .......... 3 Branch Kern 1883 - 1976 .......... 3 Mary Laura Kern .......... 3 Rachel Kern 1876 - .......... 3 Henrietta Kern 1877 - .......... 3 Jim Dote Kern 1885 - 1963 .......... 3 Otis Kern 1882 - 1966 .......... 3 William Kern .......... 3 Virginia Kern 1894 - 1961 ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Alli" <iamcheroke@filertel.com> Reply-To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Cherokee Circle] help Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 20:44:31 -0700 I missed the original message for help, so I'm a bit lost about the answer below......
