Hey, don't be in such a hurry to put Jerri down!!!!!!!!!! You will never find a person who knows more about Indian Territory and the things you need to know. Sometimes we all get snippy and short in our answers. I have been on this list for a long time. I do not know Jerri but I along with many, many others have been helped with her knowledge of the area. Sometimes things just get carried too far and DNA and toes are only two of them.
