My maternal grandmother was born in Checotah in 1903 (CALICO). My father's family (BURKS) came from Norman to Checotah in 1928. Other family names in the area are: ANDREWS and TROLINGER. My husband is also from McIntosh County (Texanna), TACKETT, NEWTON, HURST, SAYLOR. There is also a Green and McIntosh connection in his family. I have family who live in Checotah and was back for a visit last May/June. What are the hours at the Tulare Library? I have not been there in years, but have been thinking about taking the short drive north. Wanda Shafter, CA
