<DIV>A great place to get a <STRONG><EM>treasure</EM></STRONG> of information on
tracing your Cherokee lines is a book written by my cousin:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"<STRONG>Cherokee Proud: A Guide for Tracing and Honoring Your Cherokee
Ancestors</STRONG>". By Tony Mack McCLURE. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is a link to the first edition that he wrote. <A
href="http://www.powersource.com/gallery/tonymack/">Cherokee Proud</A> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He donated his book to some of the libraries in the states that were
located along the "Trail of Tears". If your like me and don't live by
one you will have to purchase the book. Its well worth the
purchase. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He still lives on the reservation in TN. You can contact him at
4040 Booth Road, Somerville, TN 38068 or by E-mail: <A class=contentLink
href="mailto:CheroProud@aol.com">CheroProud@aol.com</A> He use to have a
web site but I cant seem to find it anymore. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FYI: John Bryant was my gggg-grandfather. If you find a
connection let me know. : ) </DIV>

<DIV>It can't be stressed enough that you search you Indian Ancestry just like
you do any other ancestor. The first thing you need to know is where
this family lived and the best way is through census records. After you have
found them, try this page <A

<DIV><FONT size=2>There seems to be several folks on this list who are very
knowledgeable about Indian ancestry/history. My family verbal history
claims that my 3rd gr-grandmother was a Native American named Chloe
Bell. Conjecture has been that Chloe Bell was her "white
man's" name. My gr-gr-grandfather was born in "eastern Tennessee" in
1808. Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to research this
question back to the late 1700's?</FONT></DIV>
