. We want to know who we >are. We want to know our ancestors. I am proud to be who I am: >Georgia Aeverman > Georgia, I think you are very right. Most of us get into genealogy to find out ABOUT or MORE ABOUT the people who have gone on before us. Personally, I only had a few family members,aunts,uncles, etc. that I actually knew but since getting into genealogy I have found that I have LOTS of relatives! Researched some of them until I feel like I personally knew them and just can't wait to find the next one. I am researching DOBSON, ADKINS, ATKINSON,TERRY, CHANCELLOR, SALADIN and MORRIS, all in Indian Territory ( mostly in what is now Hughes county and Pittsburg county) before or around 1900. Any help finding my next relative? Would love to meet new cousins out there and exchange information. June Terry Johnson Oklahoma aggran@chickasaw.com
