I was told that my 3rd great grandfather had an indian name of something like Cholees? Does this name have a specific meaning that anyone is aware of? Thanks for your time. Kevin in California

cholee is a name from Florida- I think it's related to the seminoles- but then again the seminoles "adopted" other tribal members into their own as well- but I'm pretty sure it's a unique to the seminoles name and in the end- we are all family- >From: KRobertsInCA@aol.com >Reply-To: CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com >To: CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [CherokeeGeneCommunity] i need help >Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 21:18:48 EST >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from lists2.rootsweb.com ([66.43.27.39]) by >bay0-mc4-f15.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830); Fri, >24 Mar 2006 18:22:44 -0800 >Received: (from slist@localhost)by lists2.rootsweb.com (8.12.10/8.12.8) id >k2P2IkZG014653;Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:18:46 -0700 >X-Message-Info: QIy1oIULmHdB8cXCWKqYNa+KuBxmux9TfEbHs3Z/e+g= >Resent-Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:18:46 -0700 >X-Original-Sender: KRobertsInCA@aol.com Fri Mar 24 19:18:46 2006 >Old-To: CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com >X-Mailer: 9.0 SE for Windows sub 5022 >X-Spam-Flag: NO >X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.52 on 192.168.65.34 >Resent-Message-ID: <Am2Ub.A.qkD.GiKJEB@lists2.rootsweb.com> >Resent-From: CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com >X-Mailing-List: <CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/19111 >X-Loop: CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com >Precedence: list >Resent-Sender: CherokeeGene-L-request@rootsweb.com >Return-Path: CherokeeGene-L-request@rootsweb.com >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 25 Mar 2006 02:22:45.0001 (UTC) >FILETIME=[0055EF90:01C64FB3] > >I was told that my 3rd great grandfather had an indian name of something >like Cholees? >Does this name have a specific meaning that anyone is aware of? >Thanks for your time. >Kevin in California > > >==== CherokeeGene Mailing List ==== >This list is for Genealogy related conversations >Your supporting website http://www.wvi.com/~wb/Cherokee1.html >Please Good manners and do not be rude to others >For Culture, ridges; bumps; skin tones; or Language lessons Please visit >CHEROKEE-L-request@rootsweb.com > You can also find what you need search the archives >or to get off this list via web site below >http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Ethnic-Native/CherokeeGene.html >Listowner = CherokeeGene-admin@rootsweb.com >
