North West Georgia was Cherokee Country. Actually the Cherokee were in Viginia, Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC, North Carolina, South Carolina. Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisianna, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and Mexico.They were travelers.And they are still there, but usually hidden. Today it is said fifty million were massacred or killed by poison. They were a friendly people , eager to welcome and share what they had. Their world was a Garden of Eden. They had nice homes, gardens and ships. Frequently they traveled to Great Britain Scotland, Ireland and Wales.And elsewhere. Cherokee is Not their name. They have never claimed to be "Indian" BARB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Earleene" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 9:45 AM Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] genealogy > my family was in dade co ga,some of them migraed from wayne co ky. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "BARBARA GORDON-LANTTO" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Cc: "earthfeather99" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 12:17 PM > Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] genealogy > > > > The Shawnee and the Cherokee were together in 1600's at Winchester VA. > > Most records were destroyed.
