    1. Looking for my lost family...
    2. Greetings to All, My name is Ivan Lesley...and I am looking for my lost Cherokee family. I'm originally from Tennessee...my family roots go far back into the geographical area known as Tennessee. I have been blessed with a fusion of Cherokee blood from both sides of my family...here's how it breaks out: - Grandfather: Cecil Lesley (Part Cherokee...how much?) - Grandmother: Maggie Lesley (maiden name: Jones) (Part Cherokee...how much?) - Grandfather: Leander Pryor (Full Blooded Cherokee...according to my mother and her brothers)...no tribal enrollment number. Family legends have it that the family (both sides) I directly descend from managed to hide out in the Smokeys during the removal. But none the less a lot of family members were carried away...it is their descendants I'm looking for. So, I'm looking for Lesley's, Pryor's, and Jones's...I would appreciate any help or response. Regards, Ivan Lesley
