I remember my grandmother, Mary Anna Carolina Martin, d/o John Bunyan"John Andy" Martin and Rosa Lee Heath say their family had some Indian in it, but have been unable to find any. Do you have any of the names in your files?

No one really knows how they got here or what exactly they are. ( Racial wise) Common thought is Native american, African, and some kind of European or middle eastern mix. Just do a search under Melungeon and you will get a whole bunch of reading :) They mixed with alot of Native tribes. Most people say Cherokee, but that is not always so. There were 127 tribes in Virginia alone. I am Eastern Cherokee, Sauk & Fox amongst other Nations. If any of yall have any other ?'s feel free to ask :) I'll be glad to answer. ===== "How we fought for our land is written in blood, look at your tracks before you speak of anothers faults" S-gi Tsu-le-hi-sa-nv-hi & U-s-ti So-qui-li <a href="http://www.geocities.com/wildfires_fury/">http://www.geocities.com/wildfires_fury/</a> --Viars, Rakes, Gravely, Lawson Genealogy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'll tell you this about Natives... We didnt and sometimes still dont like paper to much LOL So trying to track American Indian Ancestory can be a real Challenge. I was lucky enough to be raised with the Oral history ( well most of it ) I tell you I try to help people all the time looking for thier people and it can be ruff. I also have a great grandmother who had my name LOL I think that it's a good name- It means Gazelle. It is in the bible- for a little girl that Peter, I believe, raised from the Dead.( Acts 9 or 10) :)And it has proven true in more ways than one LOL This internat can be a very handy thing in genealogy. I myself have found some long lost cousins on here and other family :) But alot of Native sites and others can be VERY misleading. So just be careful. It has been proven that since " Dances with wolves " came out more people have suddenly decided to claim ancestry. When you do it for monetary reasons and such it is a real sad deal. But every Race, creed and color has the same problems. I am all for everyone knowing where they came from and who they are, so please dont take me wrong here. I am the first to try my best in helping those in a search. I just pray for the right reasons. :) I wish you all the best of luck for all your reserch!!
