This may be a really dumb question, but how does Cherokee, Kansas relate to Jasper, MO? My grandmother says her father was born in Joplin, Jasper, MO, but other information I have gotten says he was born in Galena, Cherokee, Kansas. I've noticed Cherokee come up often when researching Jasper. What's the connection? Tara Loundree-Anderson Are we related?
