Many of the Cherokee customs - like the out of wedlock children being accepted by the family/friends, etc., show their Cherokee heritage. Also, many of the Pikes and Packs from that area of PCVA had very detailed info on their Cherokee ancestors. The main thing is the very unusual Q1a3 haplo. And the new research that different groups are working on showing that haplo does show up in Cherokee males today, and it is a very unusual haplo.
