okay now that makes me wonder if my Paternal side was'nt Creek.. I've been trying to connect the Cherokee with that side family. Just another twist in this family history... My great aunt I know did'nt tell me grandma was Cherokee, she said some other tribe. This is when i should have listened better!! I assumed with the area (Wv, Tn) she was Cherokee blood... More research needed!! Thanks Joyce For another angle to look at... Paula Carter Uhrig
