There is a Donaldson and Donelson family member listed in Starr's Cherokee genealogy of the old Cherokee Indian families. His book is indexed, as well as the 1835 Cherokee census, on line at a rare book site at http://members.aol.com/rarebk Once there, go to BOOKLISTS, and scroll down to the Cherokee genealogy books, and the tutorial. It is all self-explanatory. Note, there is no WWW in the address. The site also contains a Cherokee genealogy "how-to" tutorial you can read that explains how to do Cherokee genealogy research, the best explanation I've seen to date.
