Wow! What got you interested in Cherokee, Marvin? I have Cherokee friends I am trying to get going on Geni ... and of course try and find the Cherokee princess in my own family. I have by marriage connections to Dragging Canoe's daughter, Abigail Eastridge, and by war connections to Dragging Canoe as well. :)

Anyway -- I'm going to let my friends now about the Typewriter utility, that would be very useful for them.

I have one ancestor that was Cherokee that I know of Yun (believed to be short for Ani Yun Wiya = "The people" in Cherokee (NC), and the Eastern tribe). She was my third great grandmother

I hope your Cheroke friends have a cherokee keyboard, could take forever trying to type in cherokee without it (can be downloaded from the Cherokee Nation, but I could never get it to work on Windows 7.

We need a Native Cherokee Speaker for the site. Do any of them qualify?

PS we also need the western tribe.

Yes, they all speak Tsagali. They are Eastern Band NC though - don't know so much about the Oklahoma tribe, just meet up at Stomps.

Cool ancestress Marv but we need to connect her to the Cherokee tree!
