All Cousins: There are Youngbloods on the Cherokee Roles. Many times,"back in the days," when there was much prejudice, it was not considered all that great to have Indian blood, during the times of removals such as the Trail of Tears, so many Indians had to deny their heritage to keep from having their land taken, to keep any rights as a human being, to keep their intermarriages together, to keep their families from being persecuted, so they would say they were "Black Dutch" or many other terms to become acceptable and be able to integrate into a European society. Youngbloods did marry Cherokee, as did Chapmans, as did Browns, as did, on and on. So, when we try to discover the trails our ancestors took, and we run into dead ends or we suspect we have Cherokee blood running through our Youngblood veins, go to the source, find out which Youngbloods are on the Dawes Roll (many other roles also). You have a treasure trove of information awaiting you, "just around the river bend". Happy Journey. Cozette dmx7@earthlink.net PS. Charlie Royall has much knowledge regarding this venture. If all else fails, go to a search engine, type in Cherokee Indian, and start your journey. Dig deep my cousins, remember the tragedies our ancestors were trying to avoid, some of them did a pretty good job of hiding.
