COMMENT BY “JUSTICE”

As part of my religion I am encouraged to work on and study my genealogy. I enjoy it but I have a big hole in my mother’s side of the family. I am part Cherokee but I don’t know how much as my mother says her Great Grandmother was a full blooded indian. Mother only knew that her Great Granny sat in a rocking chair, had dark hair to the day she died, and that she smoked a pipe. I have no information on this lady’s name and I feel at a loss for not being able to learn more about her or the family from which she came.

I did visit the reservation in North Carolina with my husband and I felt like I was treated as family. Daniel, my husband was treated as a white guest. So maybe they knew or felt I was a lost part of the tribe. Laughing I just wish I could know more of Great Great Grandmother. Sad
