I am also 1/16th --Cherokee on my mother's side. We know my great gramma was full blooded Cherokee but we have never been able to get the paper trail either. I do have photos of her and I met her when I was 4 (and I remember her). Genealogy is a passion and it's easy to get hooked. The info I got today just came to me out of the blue. It's cool!

Hi Sharon,.......I think this is really exciting. My Uncle has been doing genealogy on my moms side for years and I have a friend who is doing mine on my dads side too. My mothers grandmother was full blooded ee, and if I could get proof of that I would be eligible for benefits I've been told. I think it goes down to 1/16th. Problem is no one knew her name but to call her MeeMaw.

I've been thinking of getting involved with searching too, and still may in the future. I'll see what the others have so far.

So cool! :-)

Hugs and Love, Jackie

May the peace of God be with you...the love of Jesus enfold you...and the Spirit of Christ fill you.

I don't expect you all to be as excited as I am over this, okay? But I had to tell someone!!! roflI just got an email giving me a link to the grave info and (a photo of the gravestone!) of my third great grandfather, Melchior Ruckel (Rockel). He is buried in Hidlay Cemetary in Columbia Co, PA. He was born in 1761 and died in 1826. hugs

The funny part of all the genealogy stuff.. is that it's made me a

terrific "snoop" when it comes to finding out all kinds of

information... on everybody but my own family.. LOL..

But I DO love to work on it... Found 's Grandfather's death

certificate in West Virginia.. have a jpg of it somewhere.. But the

city or town of his father's birth does NOT exist on the current day

West Virginia map.. Though I was able to kinda sorta pinpoint it

from stories ( told me that his dad told them).. and found the

general area to be Lorentz, West Virginia.. but therein comes the

brick wall..

As for my own family tree.. Dad always said he wasn't related to ANY

of the 's from the area he grew up in.. when IN FACT he's

related to ALL of them!!! Ludwig/Ludwick and nah Hart

were THE first of the 's to come on over the mountains in PA..

and she was the mother of TWENTY living children... when she died

she had over 200 grandchildren...

And unfortunately.. there were only like 6 or 7 families in that

mountain area in the late 1700's..(some of them served in the

Revolution).. and the unfortunate part.. is that they HAD to marry

someone.. so all of them eventually became intermingled.. to the

point that not only are my sons my sons.. but they are also distant

cousins!!!..

And there is some Native American (not sure which nation though) in

the family.. there was something in there about Indian .. way

back back back.. and it all become hard to trace after awhile..

But Sharon.. if you have any searching you need done here in PA..

I'll be more than happy to help out with it.. I always seem to have

better luck with other families than my own..

try state and county historical societies for towns that are no longer there - they have a wealth of information

there are two parts of the Cherokee - the ones that stayed on the East Coast and the others are in Tahlequah, OK

my heart sister is part of the Black Cherokees (slaves) and I am half Cherokee - both from Tahlequah - neither one of us have checked it out God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.
