Yes Adiene, paper/record proof is wonderful, but it is honoring who we are that's important. And it IS amazing how far technology has come which allows us to search back in time, throughout the world and all in the comfort of our own homes! I've been working on genealogy for about 15 years and the developments are incredible. So thankful to those who transcribe records and freely share. Alli, I too have thought of putting up a map to track my ancestors' migrations, but now I'd need a world map ;) Fun, that my dad who traveled internationally for business had one wall of the den covered with a world map and colored push pins inserted where we all had been. My Cherokee ancestral migration (2nd, 3rd and 4th generations back -that I know so far): SC, GA, AL, TX, OK, AR (fyi - "sgi" is a short form for "that's all" in Cherokee :) my name is Beth) all the best Beth 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. It's not about having papers to prove who we are, it's who we are. That person stems from our ancestors and the battles the fought and won. In some cases, battles they overcome who their ancestors were. I find it interesting that my ancestors started our in VA, GA, NC, SC and progressed onward byway of AL, Ohio, TN, MS, LA, TX and my folks even ended up in CA and Hawaii. Plus, history is proving that perhaps Columbus didn't discover the world but others were here before and migrated for various reasons, perhaps weather, hostilities and just plain old wandering foot. It is so amazing that our society has progressed so far as to be able to established timetables and the story of histories dating beyond our time. Hooray for mankind. Adiene

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. LOL But for my dad's side of the tree.....i just need the USA map for now :0) But that's ok, I need to search more records to expand the search & I'm going to slowly get back into it. Years ago my great grandma "came to me" & asked me to bring our family home & to reconnect the circle. Unfortunately she didn't give me any helpful info. But......I'm determined to bring the ancestors back together :0) Alli :) -----Original Message----- From: cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Beth Golden via Yes Adiene, paper/record proof is wonderful, but it is honoring who we are that's important.

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.
