I'll be the first one to agree with you on that one, Alli. As a matter of fact, the family does have dna that tells they do but that is nowhere near my area of expertise...if I have any. Joy is the one to speak on that subject. I have found that the majority of people who have applied do have some indian heritage...it just so happened that their branch didn't live on Indian land for many years and weren't re-accepted via the citizenship applications in the 1880's and 90's Joyce Gaston Reece -----Original Message----- From: Alli :) Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 10:38 AM To: cherokeegene@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] land Just because they were rejected, doesn't automatically mean they're not Indian. -----Original Message----- From: cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Joyce Gaston Reece Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 8:25 AM To: cherokeegene@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] land ---Joyce Dan The Sizemore, all 5000+, were all bundled into one case.
