Cherokee?

Hi Stacey,

Luckily you're not the only one with the question about American Indian tribal roots, and there are some decent resources and learning tools on the internet to use in research.

I liked the suggestions on this page:

"... if you know your ancestor's tribe, there may be resources aimed specifically at descendants of that tribe. This would be the most useful for you, since different tribes were recorded on different rolls and censuses. You can use our list of Native American nations to see whether we have information on your tribe and whether there are any useful links in the 'Genealogy' section."
