This is an article from the German magazien Der Spiegel GOING NATIVE IN AMERICA The Benefits of Becoming Indian By Jörg Blech In the United States a growing number of white people are discovering their Native American roots. Some are doing so for financial gain, but most are just looking for the meaning of life. A few weeks, Betty Baker was still just a white housewife. But now the woman, with her piercing blue eyes, goes by the name "Little Dove" --and has jettisoned her apron for an elaborate deerskin dress. "I am an Indian and I've sensed this my whole life," says the 48-year-old Baker, who lives in a wooden house on the edge of the small town of Pinson, Alabama. Five years ago, after her parents told her that her family probably had some Native American ancestry, she assembled documents and birth certificates and last September was accepted into the Cherokee Tribe of northeast Alabama. The cultural neophyte is now zealously learning the rituals and dances of her newly discovered ancestors. But she certainly isn't alone. Little Dove is just one of thousands of people in the United States who are becoming Indians. The government's official grouping of "Native Americans" is an extremely fast growing minority: between 1960 and 2000 it grew by 640 percent. More than 4 million Americans now describe themselves as Native American, which cannot be explained by the birth rate alone. Much of the growth is due to people like Betty Baker changing their ethnicity. Most of these new Indians have pale skin, some are even blond, and almost all were considered white before. Others point to high cheek bones, brown eyes and straight, glossy hair in their families as unmistakable signs of Indian ancestry. The self-described 'half bloods' may still live in their old homes, but their free time is now taken up by organizing powwows and walking around in costumes like those straight out of old Western movies. Financial benefits NEWSLETTER> Sign up for Spiegel Online's daily newsletter and get the best of Der Spiegel's and Spiegel Online's international coverage in your In-Box everyday. But the benefits of racial identity aren't the only ones Indian converts are after. The Indian identity has attracted some poor Americans for the access to university scholarships or free health insurance that comes with it. Potential income from casinos. Indian tribes are allowed to have gambling on their reservations, as long as the tribe is recognized by the US government. A loophole that was originally intended to help many Native Americans out of poverty and deprivation has developed into a huge business. The gambling income nationwide amounts to over $18 billion annually and much of it is distributed among the members of the tribes. One of the biggest casinos in the world -- with 40,000 visitors a day -- is run by the Mashantucket Pequot near Norwich, Connecticut. Since gambling was established in 1986 the number of Indians living there has increased tenfold -- and each week there are new applications. According to Joyce Walker, the administrator of applications, "People say: I've just found out that I'm an Indian, and want to know how I can get my cash." Meanwhile the Mashantucket Pequot have made their entry requirements tougher and demand proof of blood ties. They and other tribes recognized by the state insist that they alone can decide who they accept and who they don't. Even those who turn up with DNA proof can be rejected. This doesn't seem to be putting off these "wannabe" Indians. If they are not accepted by the established tribes many simply found their own. While there are only three recognized Cherokee nations (two in Oklahoma and one in North Carolina), for example, there are now more than 240 tribes from Alaska to Mexico that have been attempting to gain government recognition for years. So far without success. A sense of belonging Circe Sturm of the University of Oklahoma believes these second-class Indians are often simply enjoying themselves. The anthropologist has interviewed more than 70 people who changed ethnic groups about their motivation. She doesn't believe that most of them are just after the money. Many are frustrated and are looking for some kind of meaning in their lives. "If being white is just an empty plate," she says, "then being Indian is a gourmet buffet." A Indian casino on a reservation in California. Zoom Stephen Locke A Indian casino on a reservation in California. Many of the converts connect the indigenous existence with ideals such as equality between the sexes, more democracy and a romantic affinity with nature. The anthropologist found that two things were particularly attractive to the pale-faced Indians: the spiritual rituals and the idea of belonging to a group. An increasing number of Americans want to experience those pleasant feelings -- and that is causing some unrest amongst Indians. In order to escape an invasion of outsiders, even many of the newer tribes are trying to seal themselves off from further claimants. Little Dove's husband Steve Baker is a mechanic and also feels like an Indian. He wears moccasins and a loin cloth, goes to the folklore meetings and wants to be accepted into his wife's tribe as "Running Bear." However, this isn't likely to happen anytime soon. The once so modest hobby tribe in northeast Alabama has swelled to 4,000 Cherokees and is now re-examining its integration policies. Until further notice, no new Indians will be accepted.

Why not just use a Genealogy program to do this as most software is able to do this for you. If you do not have any Genealogy software I recommend that you try one of the free programs such as either Personal Ancestral File ( PAF ) of Legacy. PAF came be download from the Latter Day Saints ( LDS )Family History site and Legacy can be download from Legacyfamilytree.com after registering online, a access code will be sent to you. If you wish to carry on by Hand then the plus sign + is used to denote children for each marriage, of course you put their names in, you can also use numbers as well. It is your choice. David.

What are the rules about drawing out a family tree? For example, you put an equals sign between two married people. Thanks

Group cruises are a great way to bring people together! Not only do you have endless activities while on your cruise, you also receive greater discounts from the cruise lines as a group! A group consists of at least 15 "full fare" guests, or approximately 8 cabins. The 16th Passenger is Free! (3rd & 4th passengers in cabins are not applicable for group discount). Once your group actually sails with the required number of cabins, you will get your cruise for FREE!! The more people you have in your group the more you will qualify to receive additional amenities! For example, if you have a minimum of 50 guests booked in your party (certain cabin categories apply) you can receive a complimentary cocktail party! Your group, with a minimum of 30 guests, can also qualify for its own agent escort or tour conductor! If you would like to book meetings or seminars with the cruise lines, most ships have large meeting rooms and audio visual equipment available at no extra charge (most hotels charge extra for theses items)! Also remember when taking a cruise, all of your food and entertainment is included in the fare! Even if you don't belong to a specific group or organization, you can make up your own group! Here are some ideas for group cruises: · Family and Friends · Affinity Groups (clubs, churches, schools, social organizations, etc.) · Fund Raiser Groups for churches, school organizations, charities, etc. · Incentive Groups for sales organizations and more. When you organize a group, as the group leader, you will be able to offer your associates the lowest prices available AND travel free! All it takes to earn 1 free berth (person) is 8 cabins booked at double occupancy. If you have 16 cabins booked then you would earn 1 free cabin (2 persons). Not including port charges, or items of a personal nature. All you have to do is promote the cruise. The Cruise Web does all the work for you. Upon receipt of your cabin deposit (which will be credited to your group payment) and our Group Contract, The Cruise Web will provide the following: * A The Cruise Web Group Coordinator will call you and develop a custom proposal covering the itinerary, cost and all particulars relating to the cruise or cruises that would best fit your needs. * After you have selected the ship of your choice, The Cruise Web will prepare a flyer created especially for your group featuring the itinerary, prices per person by stateroom category, included features, payment requirements, and cancellation policies. * The Cruise Web will prepare an application form for you to distribute with the flyer. Passengers can then mail or fax the application directly to The Cruise Web for processing. * Upon receipt of the deposit, The Cruise Web will send out and invoice showing deposit paid and balance due. We will also send a welcome letter, information on the cruise, a travel insurance form and our special "What to Know Before You Go" brochure to all passengers. * The Cruise Web will mail final documents directly to each passenger approximately 2 weeks prior to sailing. We look forward to helping you plan the best vacation of your life! For more information please call Courtney Trusty our Group Sales Coordinator. 1800-377-9383 ext 355 for more information
