SInce there seems to be a great deal of interest in Cherokee and Native lines on this list I thought I would point out that there are Cherokee lists which might prove educational for you. Cherokee-L@rootsweb.com is for Cherokee genealogy, but queries about other nations are often placed there and accepted. Dan is the sysnop and he also has boards for Cherokee Culture and still another for just chit chat such as the hair question. The Culture list probably accepts such topics as well. I don't subscribe to it due to time so I can't say what is accepted. But check it out, you may find other researchers of your lines there. It is my understanding that Indian Territory Roots List is for every ethnic group, not just natives, so there are probably a great number of people here not interested in non genealogy items which apply to only one ethnic group. (; Good luck on the Cherokee list! They are very helpful over there. DEBBIE ---- On Jun 11 "Roberta L.
