Can anyone tell me how to prove if some one is of Cherokee blood?.. My husband's great great grandfather was a Garrett McCauley the tale is that he was hidden by his Cherokee mother during some kind of battle in or around Randolph county WV...and was found by the McCauley family and adopted by them...there is obvious native american heritage in my husbands family as can bee seen in their features and coloring...the dates I have are Jan 4 1802 but his place of birth is listed as Augusta county Va...how does one find out where the cherokee blood actually came in?..looks indicate it is there...but records are not easy to find...anyone able to help me? april pab@cfw.com
