Bettye` You should not type that "U" word into the list, it might just do that to U . Nor should any one reply to a message with that ( U ) word in it. Just not a good idea, rootsweb computers are well know to remove people on a random basis doing such things. Also, please let the people who run the lists answer these type messages since this is a genealogy list l;-) How ever you are correct. One other thing, people If you like to read the list via web mail, I can add your address to the ( accept ) list, then you can be removed from getting all the mail and still reply to a web message and it will post to the list. This is just an information message,not chewing on Bettye` <grin> Dan M ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bettye Woodhull" <betron1@sbcglobal.net> To: <CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 04, 2005 9:33 PM Subject: Re: [CherokeeGeneCommunity] Dan > I believe you should "

I have a question, guidence really. Either way here goes. I've been doing my genealogy for some time now. I have finally gotten the name I've been searching for, for years! The story goes, my grandmother remembered always going to the Cherokee Reservation in Okalahoma to see her grandmother. But couldn't remember her name. I now have her name. Don't know what Res. or anything else other than the name and that she was born in Arkansas and moved to Oklahoma between 1900 & 1910. Her name is: Mary Etta Hall Williams. Any guidence would be greatly appreciated!! Sandy

I need to go to no mail for one week. Is that possible? Thank you

This morning I spent some time reading World War 1 Draft Registrations, just looking to see how many Native American Records I could come up with. I searched several states, GA, AR, AL, and Ok just to name a few. It will take a bit of work on your part but you just may be able to find some ancestors using the information listed below. Ancestry has opened up it's World War 1 Draft Registration records for visitors of Access Genealogy for free. This will cover a 14 day period between July 4 - July 17 2005. The only thing required to view the records is an email address and your name. No credit card required! This is not a 14 day trial of all of their material. It is strictly limited to their World War 1 Draft Registration images. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/ In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men living in the United States completed a World War I draft registration card. These registration cards represent approximately 98% of the men under the age of 46. The total U.S. population in 1917-1918 was about 100 million individuals. In other words, close to 25% of the total population is represented in these records. The WWI draft registration cards database can be an extremely useful resource because it covers a significant portion of the U.S. male population in the early twentieth-century. If you had family in the United States during WWI, you are likely to find at least one relative's information within this large collection. In addition, these cards contain more than just names and dates; they contain significant genealogical information such as birthplace, citizenship status, and information on the individual's nearest relative. In general, the registration cards included the following information Full name Home address Date and place of birth Age, race, and country of citizenship Occupation and employer Physical description (hair and eye color, height, disabilities) Additional information such as address of nearest relative, dependent relatives, marital status, father's birthplace, or previous exemption from service Signature. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/ Direct url: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/military/ww1/draft.htm Please feel free to pass this information on to others!!

Joyce and all, I agree, thank yous are nice, but privately would be best. There is nothing genealogy related in them. However, since it's been brought up I've done some thinking and although my comments weren't asked for I feel compelled to give some. I hope it's okay with you all. Sometimes people have overwhelming lives and to expect thank yous every time is not realistic. I try to say it, but I'm sure I've forgotten it too. My life has changed radically in the past 15 mos., and I'm still coping. Don't judge people as being rude for not always using nicities on in response to your help. Help because you want to help. I have given up alot of family data, links, sources to not get a thank- you back, many times. I don't let it influence my thinking of that person. often they want to go out and research and in their eagerness, they take the leads I give and are off like a TB in a race and I hear back maybe 6 mos or later about a new finding and they say thanks for getting me the info. I needed to do that. Many times people help in subtle ways, without expecting anything as a result. I hope I don't embarrass her, but Connie Mead is one of those people. She has often responded privately to me, with a lookup, or with helpful info. She is always one of the people on the list willing to help. She is also one of the most caring I've ever met. She knows what I have gone through the past 15 mos. and every so often in my email, up pops a Card from Connie Mead, timed just about when I need an uplift. Many people came to my help the first day of my loss, many came after, offering their help. Few know how to help though. Connie is one of those rare people, who helps very quietly, very unassuming and without any expectations. I salute you Connie, today, July 3rd, as being a real hero. You are truly all American. I am proud to say I have met your acquaintance and this is my THANK YOU to you for being there for mos. by my side, in your quiet, unassuming way. NEver expecting a thank you, nor did you receive any, and yet, you persisted, sending card after card to me, timed as I said, to help. All special occasions have been met with a card. Tomorrow as I celebrate July 4th, I will be thinking of you and others like you, Americans who are truly caring and helpful people. People like you made AMerica what it is today. this may not be the place for thank yous, but I am making a huge point here. People who care can help, without expecting anything in return. Connie is one of those people. So today I am trying to make a point and at the same time point out a true humanitarian. I applaud Connie and others like her, who give effortlessly and without expectation. Thank you again Connie, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you everyone, who like Connie, has been there for me, for us, for the list. It truly is a good list and there are many here who care. remember our goal, to find our ancestors, and let that guide you. Don't be persuaded away from seeking the info. you are looking for....you deserve to know your ancestors, you have the right to seek it and above all else, I hope that each of you help where you can those who need the info. Knowledge, like books, should be shared items. I believe a general THANK YOU to the list for helping should suffice for everyone who may have pitched in on a particular request/query, or private emails should be sent by the seeker, but remember, each person has a life and sometimes it is easy in every day life to forget to say thank you. Best to just ask if they got the info. and see if that prompts a thank you if you need it to verify they received the info. For me, having a small ranch, 12 horses, hay to put up, irrigation to do, fences to mend is an everyday, time consuming chore, and I often do mean well, but put off the thank you notes until "Tomorrow" and forget.

Many times I find a branch or twig of my family intertwined in another person's genealogy. I would say it is because we work so closely with the direct lineage that we sometimes fail to check out the side lineages and they often bear clues we need. The Mixed bloods really have a time with this because it deals with so many different cultures it is hard to know where the records we need will be found. I read all postings from this area just hoping for the sligest clue. Grandma

Well I can tell you that I really enjoy this list but I most enjoy it when people answer to the list. Some of those answers are connected to my family.

Jay I'd seen that article also and was going to mention it. I'd left my copy in the office so I'm very glad you did this...now I won't have to. It's very good news. Zach Wamp is the rep. for this area in Washington, DC. It's good to know he is aware of his Cherokee heritage and is willing to help recognize their contributions to society and history.

Reps. Marion Berry, D- Ark., and Zach Wamp, R-Tenn., announced a plan that could more than double the number of documented routes along the historic trail where Cherokee Indians traveled after being forcibly removed from the East Coast in 1838. The new bill outlining the routes was revealed the same day that the Senate Indian Affairs Committee unanimously advanced legislation to apologize for past mistreatment of American Indians. Cherokee Nation principal chief Chad Smith said he couldn't think of "any greater evidence" of the need for apology than the forced trek of more than 15,000 Cherokees along the Trail of Tears. "It's the sin of not learning from history that is unforgiving," he said in his remarks. The bill gives the Interior Secretary a year to complete a study of two new major routes to be added to the nationally recognize Trail of Tears. It also requires new segments to be tacked onto the beginning of the trail in North Carolina and Georgia, and new forts and arrival stations to be included along the path. Sponsors said research collected since the trail was officially designated in 1987 has already documented the proposed additions. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act forced about 100,000 American Indians from their homes and demanded they move west to make room for new American settlers. In 1838, Cherokees made the strenuous trek from the East to Oklahoma. Nearly one quarter of them - mostly children and the elderly - died along the way. At a news conference on Wednesday, Smith pointed to a long scroll signed in 1836 by 17,600 people who objected to the removal. "You can go through this scroll and mark out every fourth one, because every fourth one perished on the Trail of Tears." he said. Both of the proposed routes pass through Northwest Arkansas, including the Bell Route just north of Fort Smith, and the Benge Route from Randolph County into Fayetteville. In Oklahoma, designations are also needed at five "dispersing depots," where Cherokees ended their journeys, said Duane King, a historian who has studied the Trail of Tears. The Cherokees' plight "is something that is still remembered, particularly in north and central Arkansas, as a very important thing, and the people there have wanted this done for a long, long time," Berry said. Rep. Dan Boren, D- Okla., said fully documenting the trail will help future generations learn from the past. "As someone who is a young person, we need to instill in those young people coming after us the history, the loss of life, and remember not to repeat those mistakes of the past," said Boren, 31, one of the youngest members of Congress. _http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2005/06/30/WashingtonDCBureau/3237_ (http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2005/06/30/WashingtonDCBureau/3237) 65.html ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Apologies, Nancy, but I don't recall! :o Maybe you can google your relative's name and see what pops up. I was researching my own when I stumbled across the list.
