Richard T., Really amazing... A few months back a casual acquaintence mentioned his Cherokee and I asked name. He did not know his genealogy , but said the name is Vann. I copied some generic Vann for him..... no excitement, he said he did not recognize any of the information. (I think I see now... he is likely part of these hide out Cherokees who avoided the emigrations.... so his family does not show up much....). Really neat to hear these things...
