Told you I've been busy!! Anyone finding some good stuff yet? .......here goes again.......... Here's a link to a map for Southern Indian Territory in 1820...Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/7662/cn-east.html One thing to remember...as these lands were taken from the various tribes and opened up for settlement, a lot of our ancestors rushed in...and some of us have family lines that were kicked out of these areas while some of our other family lines moved in...which can cause an interesting mental balancing act for we their descendants... Here's a site to check out if you, like many of us southerners, have Scots- Irish roots. http://www.zekes.com/~dspidell/ulster.html This site is a discussion of the Scots Irish immigration of the 1700s...why it happened, what are some of the pressures that got the people to leave the UK, etc. Need a census lookup?
