Along with the map - I used butcher paper 1998 to now, along with a time line paper. I think a workshop on these things would be great on the list. Also people in different areas could help people in other places would be great. Any one want the Dawes rolls I can send em. I had world Ancestry, but budget cuts cost me to loose it. But I have a sub into the find a grave archives. Also I have the Annuls of Tazewell digitized. I have some other rolls too. Also, dont forget, Judy White and access genealogy.

I could use a world map for part of my mom's tree. That's been traced back to Denmark, my grandma had some of that info already.

Hey, Alli! Don't forget that if they were in VA in the Colonial era, they could be in a lot of states after the Revolution. VA Colony even included some of the Caribbean islands at one point.

That is one of the things that I find interesting as well……. I have “ended” with finding my ancestor’s “starting” in NC., Tn, Va, Ark, Missouri, Indiana (possibly), Illinois (possibly) & then they all ended up in Okla in the Indiana Territory. One family name might have went to Texas, one went to Colorado & some of the one family name went to Calif. (gold rush). Now if I can just find where everyone “for sure” originated, both the Indian line (even if they’re not Cherokee) & the “English”….I’d be happy. I wouldn’t care if I couldn’t get overseas……I just want proof of each location LOL where their starting point truly was. I have a few surnames that fought in the Revolutionary War & Spanish American War, now if I could find out what else they did…..eventually. :0) I’d like to get a big map that I could put on the wall of the US clear back from the start of our first creation of James town & the “territories” to now (each new creation of the maps) & then start with where they ended up & are buried & follow their trail backwards. Maybe that’ll help find them, tracing their steps, their lives backwards. :0) From: Edith Humble [mailto:eadiene7374@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2014 6:47 PM To: Alli :); cherokeegene@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] Lore, Pride and Documentation Sgi, you are so right.

Hopefully no one will quit searching just because they may only have a family story or their documentation is limited.

Perhaps we can refocus our posts to a more positive and helpful nature? Sometimes lore/family stories are all some of us descendants have and will ever have, especially if our ancestors were from very early times when there were no written records in the Cherokee culture as well as many hiding their nationality. But, we still have pride in our heritage. For example, recently when researching for information on the Cherokee who lived in the Indian Territory of SC, I was told by the director of the Museum of the Cherokee in Oconee County, SC, that many of the locals knew they were of Cherokee descent, but that no documentation existed, "I don't want to disappoint you but there are no written records, such as census or tax records, on Cherokee individuals from the late 1700's in old Pendleton District. The first white settlers didn't arrive in what is now Oconee County until after 1792. We have a lot of local people who can claim Cherokee ancestry, but it is all based on family oral tradition and not on written records. We know that there was a lot of intermarriage in the early days, but it doesn't show up in written documents." So, let's honor all of us and our quests to find out more. Sgi

I understand that several of the descendants of Thomas Prather, the progenitor in America, did marry Cherokee, so that's why I posted this to the cherokeegene group. I'm curious as to whether siblings of my direct line had a Cherokee connection, as it will flesh out the information I have. wado **** Since the Prather line isn't Cherokee related let's discuss the Prather line in private.
